Yarn!!

I got 2 packages yesterday.  It was yarn heaven, I tell ya.  The Goa arrived and I immediately went to work on it!  I just couldn't resist its yummy softness.

This yarn is a nice change from the DK Jo Sharp - thicker and the seed stitch is a nice break from the endless stockinette stitch.  It's soft and worked on size 10 1/2 needles.  The seed stitch is going quite quickly - must be because I knit continental.  :)

Also in the mail was my package from Knit N Tyme.  The lovely Phildar Licorne for take 2 of the zip cardi.

It's soft and has a lovely sheen.  This is a color that I haven't really worn before, but I like it and think it will make a nice cardi.  This project is on hold until I finish the SSS and probably the back of Ronnie.  That's ok though because it's still too cold here to wear cotton - it snowed about 4 inches last night.  Snow ... May ... Spring ... Problem. But what are you gonna do, but go with it and be glad that you have a little extra time to wear your wool sweaters and socks.  I keep thinking that one of these days the weather has to get better, but so far that has not been the case.

I'm painting my kitchen on Saturday - and can hopefully get it all done in one day.  My mom's coming to help me because she owes me some painting help and she has plans to use my services more in future months.  She's in the process of closing on a house and she's already making plans for painting and fixing up.  Sounds like it's going to be a busy summer, but I enjoy it and I'll have lots of before and after pictures.  Have a great day and I hope you're weather is better than mine.
