many WIPs and no photos
I left the cradle for my Sony camera (and my cell phone charger) at my parents' house, so this will be a post with words and music and signifying nothing.
I have about 14" of the front of Skully done. This is going to be one hell of a "fuck my figure, I'm moving to Alaska" sweater. I'm cruising along on the Bryspun circulars, which I love more than life itself.
My aunt Cindy (who was visiting the Orlanders along with Yvonne) knit about 20 rows of my umpteenth (okay, third) Harry Potter scarf. Ethan wants one, but he doesn't know it yet.
The sweet little baby bonnet from LMKG is close to being done, but I'm not picking up the edging stitches properly.
I got some Sock Garden in a delicious pink and yellow color, and immediately cast on Jaywalker. (all the cool kids are making them) Film at eleven.
Nathan allowed me to drag him to the (as far as I can tell) only yarn store in Sacramento yesterday. I bought some silk sock yarn and some (OH MY GOD OH MY GOD I NEED TO BE ALONE WITH THIS YARN) Misti Alpaca. I bought enough to make Interlocking Ballons from Scarf Style. I woulda cast on the second we got back to his house, but we had drinkin' to do, and, although I carry my needle case with me everywhere I go, I didn't actually have Scarf Style on me.
Comments
I believe this was the first time that I had ever been yarn shopping, and it was both enjoyable and educational, but, at the risk of sounding like a philistine, I have to say that the drinkin' was better.

When you get your camera cradle back, post a picture of your stash for me, okay? Mum said you guys brought it for her to see, and now I'm jealous. :)
(And I thought it was funny that she picked out that Artyarns Supermerino - I have a skein of the exact same color that I meant to put in the knitting bag I bought her for Christmas and forgot.)
