Talk about yummy yarn! Here:
are two cakes of Fresh Isle Fiber‘s Watermelon self-striping yarn that I wrote about two weeks ago. It arrived yesterday. I can’t wait to knit it up into socks! What am I going to do with two whole cakes of the stuff? I don’t know, I just know I needed it. Hoarding is not an attractive trait, I know. Maybe I’ll send it to someone deserving…They sent a little sticker of the Canadian Flag, too. Too cute!
Tomorrow is Lucy Neatby’s Scintillating Socks class at The Cornwall Yarn Shop! I’m so psyched to learn new sock-knitting techniques. I have to turn some of my sock yarn skeins into cakes by tomorrow morning. I should really do that tonight, but I know G’s going to call out to me very soon that it’s time for bed.
I cleaned up a bunch downstairs and a little in my office because, well, it needed it, and also my in-laws are coming on Sunday. They’re driving our new/old car up from Florida and are staying over two nights. We’re driving them out to Lawn Guyland on Tuesday (so much for getting my nails done). My mother said she’d join us for dinner Sunday night, this’ll be her first time meeting them. It should be interesting. She’s met his sister, L, and the kids.
I finished the job application. I did a really good job on it, is the consensus. All it needs to do is get me an interview; once they meet me, they’ll be hard-pressed not to hire me, I think. I hope. If I prayed, I would, but I don’t, and now’s not the time to start.
