Please Don't Be Mad...

Ok - so I didn't get pictures taken of the scarf.  I know, I said I would, but I got too busy and didn't have time.  I'll do it tonight.  I promise (or at least I promise to try!).  I wrapped the cami up in pretty springy paper (like the season, not a slinky) and will take it to mail today at lunch.  It's a little like sending your kid off to school (or how I imagine that would be since I don't have kids).  I sure hope that she's liked and that she fits.  Yikes.  I'm also taking the skinny scarf to it's new home tonight.  Once again, anxiety.  Hmm, do you think maybe I have issues?

The fabulous Sarah has offered to pick up the newest Phildar magazine for me in exchange for something she wants (yet to be decided) and Adele gave me a heads up about Knit 'N' Tyme, an online store where I can get the magazine with the English inserts.  Thanks ladies, you're the best!

The weather here sucks.  It was -10 F this morning when I left for work.  That is just too freekin' cold to have to be out and about.  The roads for the commute were icy and there was dense fog - just nasty I tell ya.  I was wishing on the whole way to work that I had thought to be sick and stay home today.  I really need to start planning ahead. 

I ordered the dress for my bridesmaid stint in March.  I hope it will be ok with the bride because I think she liked the other finalist better than the one I ended up choosing, but oh well.  Hopefully all will work out.  What do you think?  It's a 5:00 garden wedding and I thought the lace was pretty and springy (there's that word again).  Black was the requirement so this is my take on it.  I hope it fits and that I like it.  I'll still have time to exchange it for a different size or the other dress if I don't like it when it comes.  Some days I so wish for a nice department store close to me (and a LYS, but that's another gripe) so I could try things on before I buy them.  Oh well, you have to play the hand you're dealt.  Living in rural America does have its benefits, but shopping just doesn't happen to be one of them.

Have a great day.
