Serious Drool Factor Ahead - Caution!
Thank you all for your encouragement over my first week's less than exciting outcome at the weigh-in last night! I know you're right.
After PT tonight (it just never ends, ya know?) I headed to a grocery I don't normally frequent (tho' I guess I will be more often now that my dearest, favorit-est Ukrops is closing (SOB!!!) and picked up these:
I dare you. (to try them, but not to say what that photo appears to be - it's almonds!)
They're Emerald's Cocoa Roasted Almonds. I adore almonds. And these are wonderful. For 3 points. With protein. And all the good stuff almonds just naturally have.
I think I've died and gone to heaven...
OK. There's more. I saved the best for last. If you're a knitter that is.
Art Walk Sock Yarn Club's September 2009 edition (I got the October edition, too, and it's yummy, but I can't share that yet, or I'll be a spoiler. Everyone's already gotten September. When I saw it? I asked Roxie if she had any left.
I know you know why, right? Black, purple/plum, and a bright royal blue. Oh I can't decide. Will these be plain vanilla (which shows off the sock yarn itself the best) or will I go ahead and do Feather and Fan on the cuff? The nice part? I don't have to decide till I've turned the heel!
I know. You've gone for tissue to wipe off the drool, now haven't you? (Ask me how I know?) hahahahaha!
*wink*

I have been so impressed by Carol Sulcoski's Knitting Socks with Handpainted Yarn. She talks a lot about how the yarn colors change and what patterns will play well with handpainted yarns. The short summary: the more the yarn pools, the more you need a pattern to break up the color overlap.
It will be interesting to see how this yarn emerges as a sock.
I do love almonds too but I hate to say what that looks like a plate of!! I'm sad about UKrops too.
oooh, gorgeous! And so very YOU. You definitely had to get that yarn :)
Mmmmmmmmmm. That Art Walk is gorgeous! Why don't you just pass it and the almonds to me??? LOL
Pretty yarnz!
Almonds! Ha. I hadn't a clue.
I love that fairy fabric! So cute.
Congrats on the weight loss! The slower the better, they say. (And I'm sure they're right.)
