Mistress Stash Enhancer

The stripes are bothering me! Yesss... you read that right, the stripes are bothering me! Don't get me wrong, I love this yarn! Its soft and the colors are yummy! Its just the color placement that's bothering my control issues.

I just feel like the white should be between the pink and the creamy brown. I don't know why this is bothering me, really I don't! Is there such a thing as fear of stripes? Even though the stripes are bothering me, I LOVE this yarn! The desired vesper sock yarn. The colors, ohhh how I love the colors! The color way I'm using right now is Neapolitan, and let me tell you. I want me some Neapolitan ice cream! MMm! I'm soo happy that I was able to snag two other colors as well, Fire in the sky and Aquamelon. Vesper is all that its made out to be and then some! Love it! Neapolitan has been in the stash for about a month now, and since the day the post man hid it in the front door, delivered it I've been pondering what the perfect stitch pattern would be. Yeah, soothing stockenette won! I really needed something that no matter where I stopped knitting, when I picked it up, I knew where it was!

Speaking of the Postman, lookie what he bought me yesterday!

The yarn I ordered from Cayli of Spin a yarn for ewe! Wow! Grrl, that was super fast shipping! Thanks! This yarn is soo soft, and the color gorgeous! I'm thinking a looong skinny scarf knit width-wise (you know when you cast on 300+sts) maybe add a bit of white yarn to show off the blue. I'm just going to stare at it for a while, its sooo pretty! Speaking of blue yarn,

I finished my blue square for Christine's    last weekend. (Or was it two weekends ago?) Did I take a picture of it before I mailed it? Noooooo.. because that would have been the act of both a good blogger and a intelligent being! DUH! I want to knit another square for Vickie's brother, a visit to (one of the three) LYS(s) is in order!

Lookie what the UPS man hid left for me today

g where ya been? Why do you need a sweater? You live in a dessert for crying out loud! Isn't it hot? How about a nice hat? *L*

Well, this post is loong enough!! I'm off to blow off some steam, I spent today at my son's pre-school waiting for parents to hand in there Fundraiser money and having to chase down 3 of them. There is something apparently confusing about money has to be in today or no order will be placed in your name!!! I must go knit my sock,  eat a bit of popcorn and spend some time screaming at enjoying my children!

HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY!
