The yarn is coming! The yarn is coming!

Oh what a day I have had... picking out yarn for my Christmas projects! And, of course, could not resist something extra because it was pretty and something else because it was on sale! I have already forgotten the colorways and only remember that some was an alpaca/silk blend for my sister.

Once all the pretties arrive - I will post pics so you can drool along with me!

I also purchased some lovelies from my friend at Liberty's Yarn. If you have not checked out her fabulous online shop yet - you definitely should. Just click on the name above and you will be taken there!

She has some of the loveliest colorways. You can also find her on Ravelry, if you are there too!

While browsing through colors and sales I also found this set of needles below on knitpicks.com. I like the idea that they are convertible and so multi-functional. I am in a very small space now. I am definitely contemplating this lovely little set..


So, now the Christmas presents just need to be made and I need to figure out how to squeeze all these projects into my crazy schedule!

Actually, what most excited me about this blog all the month thing was the theme – Zeitgeist – isn’t that just one of the coolest words ever? It just sounds cool.  I am thinking of adopting it as my theme for 2011 – I’m not joking, I like it that much. In case you don’t know (or haven’t googled a defintion yet) here’s an overview of the meaning from wikipedia : is "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age." Zeitgeist is the ge...

Maybe you've been wondering...

Where I've been... well, nowhere really. I have been trying to stay off the computer and get some studying done. Obviously this is not working very well since here I am, but it is an effort. This new test I am studying for to determine whether I'm cool enough to enter the Education program at Western Washington University is scaring the pants off me. I really wish they would accept my already passing Praxis scores as I have already gone through all the freaking out, stressing out, studying and lack of sleep for that test. I don't test very well. I really never have. I am full of that panicky test anxiety right up until the professor, etc says go, and then I calm down and keep telling myself, you know this or you don't... just breathe goober. I am almost always convinced that I'm going to fail, and fail badly and I can't remember actually ever failing, but it could still happen. So, now I stay up late (because that's the only time it's quiet here) a...
