Putting my two cents in.

Born and bred in a small New England town, I am convinced that I know something about everything, and that my opinion matters. If only to me. Well, you'll see what I mean. And I love to knit, so you'll see what kind of things I'm doing when I should be vacuuming the living room.

Yarn Porn Tuesday!

Just got me an order in the mail from Elann.com! Whee! New yarn! I haven't started knitting with any of it yet, but so far it feels nice and soft in the skein.
I wish I could say that I'm going to jump right up and dive in with a project, but the truth of the matter is that I'm just not excited about knitting these days. You see, 15 days ago I ordered some yarn from handpaintedyarn.com. Lovely hand-dyed singles to make the girls new hats and mittens to match their new Christmas jackets. And because when you're a kid, you can never have too many hats and mittens. (Case in point: Bug left hers at school yesterday. And as it was -1F at the bus stop this morning, going without was not an option!)
But the order still hasn't come. And that set of hats and mittens is what I really want to be knitting. Everything else is just busy work, and my needles know it. On the bright side, I opted for the "cheap" shipping (parcel post) from Elann, knowing that it could be weeks before it arrives, and I got it in 8 days.
I think what I'll have to do is go organize my knitting baskets and make room for my new arrivals. I took the Christmas tree down yesterday (yeah, I know...) and now I need to put my chair back over by the front windows with all the nice, natural sunlight. Perfect knitting spot!
