I Need a Yarn Fix

I’m really needing a yarn fix. I haven’t ordered any yarn in several months. I think since we ordered the yarn for Nez’s afghan back in July. Yikes! I so want to order yarn and The Loopy Ewe has Cascade 220 for $6.60!! I’ve been wanting grey for a long time and they have the perfect colorway! A semi dark heathered grey that is just gorgeous!

I’m trying to be good and not spend my money on yarn, because Amelia has a birthday coming up in a month plus we are wanting to switch her to a toddler bed, which means redoing her room a bit to be more little girl rather than a nursery. Plus we have a long road trip in 2 weeks and then the holidays will be upon us.

But oh how I want to buy some yarn. Agh! What to do!

No Time

It really is sad when you go to the bookstore and want to buy a book, but then honestly tell yourself you don’t have time to read because that would take away from your precious knitting time and you need every available free second to finish that afghan you promised your sister (it’s her wedding present).

Darn it! I used to love reading. Before I discovered a love of knitting, my obsession was books. I could spend hours in the bookstore just browsing and reading the summaries.

Now, my limited free time is wasted if I do something other than knit. Ugh! I can’t even enjoy a good book anymore. What is happening to me?!

More Fiber/ Making Socks

I recently purchased more fiber. Yeah. I know. I have enough already to keep me busy spinning for months. But I couldn’t help it. I bought the same stuff as before (BFL from Sakina Needles in Woodstock), so I could spin it up and have more yarn available for the campfire socks. That way I can make socks that come up higher than just my ankles. I’m plugging away at the socks and although I don’t have photos yet, I’m make decent progress on the foot. So far they look okay although I think they will be a bit loose. I probably should have gone down to a size 3 needle, instead of going up to a size 5. I will post a photo as soon as I can.

I’m having computer issues. My battery is bad and I’m taking my laptop to the Apple store this weekend, in hopes of getting a replacement.

Upgraded

I’ve just upgraded my installation of Wordpress from 2.2.1 to 2.5.1. Wow! What a difference. I think it’s going to take a bit of getting used to the new admin interface. I was previously using the Tiger Admin plugin to make it look a bit cleaner. I like the new interface though so far. Seems a bit cleaner than before and I like that it has a bit more color to it. :)

I’ll have to play around, because I can already see that I’ll use the tags quite a bit, instead of having to use a bunch of categories that don’t really get but a few posts.

How Sad

I have no comments on this blog. Primarily because when I converted my posts from Textpattern, I couldn’t figure out how to convert the comments, so I lost them all. Since, I’ve not had anyone post comments. So I made a test post to make sure it’s working. Yep. :(

My first comment received was spam! How sad is that. I guess my blog is pretty lame that no one comments. LOL! Oh well.
