EnigLdy - My Homepage

I just don't like it....the yarn that is. I love the pattern but this yarn needs some sort of help. Then again, I'm not a fan of yellow. I shoulda asked Seester if she liked this since her favorite color is yellow.....already frogged it but would redo if she likes/wants. I wonder if it would look good in the Curly Scarf pattern from Scarf Style!? Maybe that would help me to like the colors more. Not sure. This yarn may go to another home.

What am I working on, you ask? Working on not adding to my stash but coming itchingly close. I found someone on-line that is destashing and is going to give me a sneak preview. Yeah, you know I'll buy something. I also peeked at the sales on-line....no credit card usage yet. BUT, I am meeting an ex-co-worker at the NEW, yes NEW, Yarn Store. YES!!!! Yarn Store!!! Sorry all you Austinites but I've never much cared for Hill Country Weavers. I've been in there about 10 times and never even heard a "hello" from one person. Nope, I ain't spending my sheckles there. Anyway, they're opening Bluebonnet Yarn Something in Cedar Park and I'm meeting a friend there when they open the doors. Guess I need to determine what I'm wanting to buy or willling to spend. I'm hoping that this will be a fun place to hang out. Like I ever have "hang" time. Uh huh.

Knitting: I'm plugging away at the faux fur - I lied, it is 22 rows repeated 15 times. I have about 7 repeats complete so I'm pretending that I'm getting there. It is pretty and looking great so reason enough to keep moving on it. Although it has been in the 80's here. I wonder if I'll ever get a chance to wear it!? I'm also working on the Tulip hat for cousin Tracy's baby. I've got the brim and maybe another inch done.

Check this out - got this from Cousin Ruthie and I thought it was hilarious:

IF YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL IN THE 70'S...
You wore a rainbow shirt that was half-sleeves, and the rainbow went up one sleeve, across your chest, and down the other.
