I paid my bills, now I can shop!

I think I might go yarn shopping tomorrow. Much as I want to skip off to my favourite LYS, Uniquities, I think I will probably wind up on the cheap at AC Moore, since I'm buying yarn for a baby sweater. I don't feel a particular need to knit an heirloom-quality sweater, even if I'm hoping that the darling girl will get a few seasons out of it before it has to be relegated to the teddy bear wardrobe.

I haven't spun all week, and I have that itch of creation under my skin. I think tomorrow, after my massage (oh, the decadence!), I'll sit down at the wheel for an hour or two and see what I can get. It'll be prime time to catch up on my weekly allotment of "The Daily Show".

I hope your weekend plans are delightful!

I have cast aside my wooly shackles!

I'M DONE, I'M DONE, I'M DONE, I'M DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9.5 miles of yarn, all in skeins I can dye and sell.

I'm REALLY excited about some of the new yarns, too. The Alpaca/silk/merino blend is soooo drapey, and the 500+ yard skeins of super soft, squishy merino singles are going to be PERFECT for felted bags. In fact, I'm thinking of either trying to come up with a nice pattern myself, or holding a contest to design one.

19.7 pounds, 9.5 miles, and it's all sitting in a box in my dining room.

HOORAY!

New yarns, studio revamp, picture taking

I really need to have a heavy-duty, my-arm-is-gonna-drop-off skeining session. I have SO MANY luscious new yarns that I want to get started dyeing! Merino/tencel, merino/silk, superwash merino, alpaca lace, pure silk lace...I could build a fort out of my yarn cones and boxes.

Before I can do that, I have to finish the revamp of the studio. It's nearly there. We are up to the "putting things into pretty boxes" stage, and we're planning to hit it for one last big swoop this evening after dinner.

I have also decided that I'm in need of an indoor, all-weather photo spot, where the light is the same (and good) all the time, and I can take pictures of my wares in a controlled setting at any time. This may neccessitate a trip to IKEA and the purchase of either some cheap white sheets, or a roman blind that I can pin to the ceiling in the appropriate spot.
