Update 8:20pm:
Can I get a HELL YEAH!!
Okay well it still needs buttons. That means a shopping trip to Joann's or Micheals. It's a bit darker blue then in the photos below. I was thinking some kind of button that made it more boyish, like little boats or maybe ducks.
5pm:
It has been a fun weekend. I have done laundry and several loads of dishes. GO GO GADGET HOUSEWIFE!
I began playing with my SP sock yarn. I am thinking cables! I love cabled socks... or atleast I do ever sence I saw some on another blog. I may have to frog it but that's fairly standard for me and socks.
On friday I went to a conference in Atlanta, so afterwards I went to "Why Knot Knit" and picked up some Debbie Bliss Cathay in white.
I worked on this friday and saturday. Can you guess what it is?
I had a not so fun adventure on my way to this yarn store, I smashed up the front of my car! I was turning around in a U shaped inclined parking space in front of a store and I could not see that the cement white driveway also had a 2 foot tall white block. They should paint it yellow or something. I am too short and simply didn't see it. I got very upset and then in the end decided to go into the knitting store anyways. Then I told the women in the store as I was very flustered and sweating and all out of sorts. The store owner then let me know I was not wise to tell her because she knows all the shops owners, and was i sure I didn't damage his parking lot? NO I didn't, I am 99.9% sure there was no damage to his cement block. So there would be no harm in checking would there be... was her reply. So in the end after I purchased my yarn I told her I was not going to try to go over there again with my car (I was too out of it to realize it was litterally across the street and I could have walked), but besides it was her idea and I knew I didn't do anything.
Needless to say the owner of that store/parking-area came OVER to the yarn store and was extremly kind and wanted to know if I was okay. Hey, maybe he was afriad I could sue him cause he didn't have it painted properly. I didn't care, I just wanted to leave...
DESPITE that adventure, and the knitting store owner getting involved (my mom said that was wrong of her but really I can understand her perspective, they all look out for eachother's stores), so despite ALL THAT I simply looooooved this store. The owner chatted it up with me and didn't push the more expensive yarns on me. She was talky and hyper just like me, so I rambled off to her about things and probably said far to much about my yarn spending habbits. They had Karabella which was one reason I wanted to go to begin with, but I just wound up with the debbie bliss yarn and some Cotton Patine (elsebeth lavold) so that I could makes something summery and not to expensive.
I got to see the Kidsilk Haze in the jelly and that gold color-way and I have to say I am glad I never bought them online. They also had Trance and really that is my favorite color so I in the end am very happy with the color of that kidsilk haze, something I can't always say of internet orders. They had rowan 4ply and felted tweed so now I finally have a place to go to get my rowan fix in the future. I think my main reason for liking the store owner is she was the youngest one I have ever met. She had kids who seemed to be around 10 or so.
OMG look-it!! It's a nearly all together Baby Cardi. It's 5pm and I finished knitting the collar, attaching the left sleeve, seaming up the left side, then seaming up the sleeve itself, then I decided to darn in ALL the end. WOW who knew seaming took so freakin long? I had to take out a bit of it on one sleeve because it wasn't coming out even. Overall though I would say I'm not to horrible at seaming. I read about it in blogs alot, people seaming something and then hating it. Seaming comes more naturally to me then say, reading patterns. heh.
I might pick the cardi back up and finish seaming tonight, but I am ready for a break.
