Did my mail carrier hear my plan?
I don't know about you, but I am a very impatient person. When I want something I want it now! I can't wait for a little bit, ok, not really! I don't order online all that much because of my impatience. Unfortunately there are no yarn shops in a 100 mile radius that sell Koigu and I wanted some!! So I placed a order at the Knitting Zone late Thursday night. I wanted this yarn sooo bad, and yesterday it felt like I'd been waiting a week (it was 3 working days for crying out loud!) for my package of kpppmmmmm. I started to plot a evil plan, you see. I see my mail carrier all over town, a lot. I thought about flagging him down by B's school first thing in the morning, or maybe casually talk to him by the Dr's office, the best idea was to break into the damned little go-cart and get my yarn! After C came off the bus I opened my mailbox and my yarn is here! And it didn't feel like I waited even 4 days! Those ladies are super fast! I quess I just need to "learn" some patience!
I ordered 1 skein Cherry Tree Hill Supersock yarn in Birches for Project Spectrum, 4 skeins each of Koigu KPPM. It doesn't seem like there is 420 yards in the Supersock! Its such a small skein! I don't know why, but I've been craving some green yarn lately, I'm not a green person! The pinky green skein reminds me of watermelons! mmm!
Today when I opened my mail box look what was peering back at me
My Project Spectrum Postcard! Thank you Postcard Pal! It is sooo worth the wait! She hand painted the flowers, the quotes that she used are perfect! Thank you! Thank you!
Did my mail carrier hear my plan? Is he hiding something in that go-cart? hmmm.. questions to ponder!
Because I never stop buying yarn, I kidnapped my neighbor MandaJ we went to the Mall dropped of my fundraising paperwork (URGH!) and went to Joann's
I bought some pretty fabric to make a skirt, some white yarn to go with my new pretty handspun by Cayli , some blue yarn for another Comferting Jef square (which I need to get cracking on!) Embellish this (bought last night from Walmart) and a impulse buy: Joann 50 Fabulous skirts.
Now if you will please excuse me, I have a special Birthday dinner to cook and a sock to finish! Have a awesome night ya'll!

I know the feeling of waiting for the mail.
Those skeins/hanks of yarn are beautiful! I can't wait to see the finished projects.
Knit on!

Hee, hee - I've knit with that same shade of green Koigu. I got to love when the yellow would come by every so often. Have fun with it!
