Good News: I just came back from a wonderful (knitting) vacation at BMFA Sock Camp!
Bad News: I had to come BACK from the wonderful (knitting) vacation! (Where I met Capi, by the way; tell her Cathy-Cate says “Hi!” when you see her at the Spring Fling!) And tell Laurie B “Hi!” too from her fellow Cotton Commando! And of course, greetings to Wendy, who is kindly letting me test knit her lovely Diamonds and Purls shawl! I would have been *at* the Spring Fling had I not already made a commitment with my knitting girlfriends to go to the Midwest Masters in Neenah, Wisconsin the same weekend! Next year? )

Bad News: I missed a Sneak-up.
Good News: You snuck in a Pre-Spring Fling Sneak-up! And I happened to be online right around the time the email went out, apparently!

Bad News: Many many blogs to catch up on.
Good News: I read fast. In catching up with your blog, I got to read L-B’s interview AND I saw the “Don’t Be Blue” Sock Kit announcement! And I’m eligible!

What a sweet idea! I’ve ordered mine! : )
That’s Good News!

Leave it to the internet – now I officially know more people with the same foot size as me than people who have smaller feet! Love the shoes, may have to get a pair myself!

CTH wants me to knit with possum? Even with an Aussie accent I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around that one.

Good news: Started the Heere Be Dragone shawl, and the Chewy Spaghetti laceweight is working great — a tiny bit of color change, but so subtle that it doesn’t interfere with the pattern.

Bad news: I’m only on the first chart page of ten.

Good news: Almost done with the heels on my furthest-along pair of socks, and ready to dive into the gusset.

Bad news: We aren’t talking about the other two pairs that are just toes, plus the pair that’s been sitting for a year and a half.

Good news: My son is in a pleasant and huggy mode.

Bad news: Occasionally this interferes with my typing .

Good news: Only about 8-10 more weeks left of being pregnant!

Y’know what?

Sock yarns may not count as stash, but stash yarns don’t count as socks, either!

Good news: We found a great used Honda for our son to use back and forth to school, being sold by a friend of ours, so we knew it was a good car.
Bad news: It got stolen (even though it was locked and a 1992 with a spot of body putty) from right in front of our house overnight.

Good news: He wasn’t in it.
Bad news: Some of his (gulp) textbooks and notebooks were.

Good news: I’m an LG.
Bad news: After filing taxes, buying a car and now having to buy another one, I have no money to buy yarn…so no LG appreciation gift that I hear is so great.

Good news: I have a $30 Starbucks giftcard that I had forgotten about.
Bad news: After it is gone, no Starbucks till we’ve paid for another car.

Good news: My College Guy has found a job near school for the summer, as well as a possible internship.
Bad news: He’s not coming home for the summer. Actually that’s my worst news.

I think I should quit before I think of anything else!
