Stitches: Lichen
I had a lovely four mile walk along the Little Sugar Creek Greenway with my friend Laura (hi, Laura!) this morning. It’s always fun being with her. Down side: I’ve been more tired since Stitches and now I really want a nap, but I know that we have to do homework, etc., before going to a family reunion this evening. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone, but it’d be more convenient if it weren’t on a school night. Whatcha gonna do, eh? I’ll just tank up on coffee afterward so I’m able to stay awake and kick undead butt in D&D tonight. I’m going to have to find a place to set up my laptop that won’t exacerbate my back, which has been acting up for the last few days.
Man, I’m just falling apart, aren’t I?
Anywho, here’s another little beauty from the Knitting Notions booth. This is 420 yards of their kettle dyed superwash merino. I was really impressed by the color quality on their variegated yarns. This colorway is Lichen. This is right up my alley.
I really didn’t buy that much actual yarn, although there are a few I’m kicking myself over, like this Madeline Tosh sock yarn in Frida from the Yarn and Fiber Company. It’s not my normal fare at all, but I went back to it three times. My usual rule is that if you find yourself going back to something three times, then you’ll probably think about it when you leave and you should buy it. I should have listened to myself.
Okay, I’m taking five while my daughter snacks on brie and crackers, which has become her new favorite snack. Wish me luck in staying awake.
If I find that at MDSW, then that’s your “thank you” gift for watching the cats for me. =)

Hey! I love that yarn you decided to buy after looking at it three times! It’s very bright! And why not save it for winter? Here in Alaska more people wear colorful colors that time of the year just to perk themselves up!
Do you know those rainbow socks with the individual toes? Well I bought a pair to wear just for the fun of it this past winter. Those socks and flipflops with black sweatpants and a black t-shirt were my usual Monday uniform….lol.
With all the things you COULD have regrets about, why have one over yarn? Sheesh, you MUST be REALLY tired. I hope you can grab a nap while Emily is in school tomorrow. You poor woman!
