Just wanted to leave a little love for the Colinette half-skeins. Me and my big ole 10′s appreciate it. I hope you had a wonderful holiday! I can’t wait ’till Christmas…. maybe there will be a Loopy Ewe in the stocking for me (and how appropriate would that be?!)

Cool for zappos- let me tell you, I had a similar experience with drugstore.com. Granted, I got the 2day shipping on it because it was meds I needed but it got there THE NEXT DAY. I ordered at like 8pm- I died.

I noticed that my cakes, cookies, bars, etc. taste MUCH better with my Red Kitchenaid mixmaster I got for Christmas last year – not to mention it looks great in the kitchen!

The weekend is over and I did get the laundry done last Friday before leaving for Minneapolis for a family get-together. Of course, I took knitting along and completed a front and 1/2 of a cardigan for myself and also another bowl for felting.

Looking forward to the next Sneak Up to see what new yarn I can add to my Stash!

Well, I spent my weekend recovering from the Cold from H*LL that wouldn’t go away. It’s finally breaking up, but it’s been a long haul. So, I knit two tams and designed a third hat which I keep changing in my mind and have started and ripped out twice because I keep changing my mind on what the best beginning will be. Of course, my mother is not happy because I’ve done all this (it’s Christmas knitting, after all) but I haven’t started her new tam to go with her new coat. Soon….

As for your three veggies you hate, if we’re ever at a dinner where they’re serving those, sit at the same table as me. They are among my favorites (ok, so there really ISN’T a veggie that isn’t on my favorites list) and I will eat them for you. My cousins do this all the time. They’re all very picky, and I wind up eating a lot of veggies and passing them the stuff they like so they don’t starve. Works out well, since no one notices.

Oh, and I also got about 8 loads of laundry done this weekend. Sounds like a lot, until I explain that it hasn’t been done in several weeks and there are untold quantities more down in that there basement. Not sure how we accumulate so much, but there you have it.

I’m a little late too because I went out of town so my list is 3 things I did this weekend:

1. Went to WEBS and bought lots of gorgeous yarn
2. Got my copy of The knitter’s Book of Yarn signed by the fabulous author, Clara Parkes
3. Had a blast with about 99 other knitters at the Knitter’s Review Retreat! WOO HOO!

And bought more yarn at the retreat’s market place.

So this weekend I’ll be doing laundry, etc. and getting back to my real life.

I feel I must say I am a firm believer that doing laundry on weekends is very bad for your well being and I think there might just be a law against it somewhere.

On another note-as a spinningpusher myself-let me be the first to let you know that I, as one of your yarn suppliers, (and a good friend of L-B, Wendy and Alice) …also dye roving in my uncommon colorways…in wool and washable merino…let me know!

There are *mint* three musketeers bars?? *swoon*

My parents are on their way out to Kansas City to visit family and I started to tell them that they could stop at this great place in St. Louis to get a few skeins of yarn for me. My mom only groaned… I can’t imagine why. *lol*

I just recently discovered the Loopy Ewe and I love it! I’m not a knitter. I’m a crocheter, but do want to try to learn to knit one day (for the hundredth time). Not to say that I don’t love to crochet. I do. The yarn is so dreamy and beyond anything I have used so far. I have just recently moved past working with cheap yarns, which is suitable for baby items, but not crazy about the feel of it. I’m kinda weary of purchasing such lovely yarn. It’s like when fall in love with a dress but have no idea where you would ever wear it because its so beautiful.

No LYS. Reading the posts and seeing the pics makes me wish you were down the street. I worked out this whole scenario where I would come in all excited and interesting and you’d say to yourself, “she is so excited and interesting, I must give her a job” and everyone lives happily ever after. Anywho…

Yay! i am so glad that you are getting Jitterbug yarns. I found this yarn in Montreal…the last stop on my 26 day road trip back to Baltimore…and I LOVE it! They give a free sock pattern with it as well!

Again, I am enjoying all the yarn from the Loopy Ewe, and I have been knitting socks and fingerless gloves like crazy. Therefore, here are the 3 THINGS I DID NOT DO this weekend:

1. Work on my proposal for my doctoral thesis.
2. Give my apartment a much-needed vacuuming
3. Move from my couch for nearly 6 hours (not quite) on Saturday…I was determined to finish the pair of socks I was knitting!

This (past) weekend – because I am running a full three days behind myself.

Three things I did:
1. I went to the BEST booksale and got $800 worth of books for $80 (I did blog about it!)
2. Spent a great Saturday with my kids!
3. Laid in bed on Sunday and took a 2 hour nap (oh, and finished Maggie’s socks too!)

Three things I did not do:
1. Laundry (although I should have, because I think the dirty clothes are about to revolt and take over the house.
2. Work (okay, I did, but only while laying in bed and only for a couple of hours).
3. Worry about how dirty the house is.

Oh, and I too love those little 3 Musketeer Mint minis, although they are nearly impossible to find around here.
