Friends and Knitting

Well today was a VERY nasty day for rain! It was bad folks. The pond down the road is over the banks. The creek is over its banks and the other Pond is way over its banks and covering the road! (on the way home the road was no longer covered. But its raining again and will be in the am.)

But Me and my friend wanted to get together today (sat) for the first time in a few months for some ice cream. So with pouring rain and flooded roads we meet up at 2pm! It was very fun and we even got treated to a blizzard by them! (thank you btw...I know it was your idea!)

But when you give 3 boys ice cream you then get hyper kids who want to play. So it was off to the walmart for us!

When we got there the boys went one way and me and my friend went to the crafts. (big shock huh?!) She got some yarn in the colors she needed..I got 2 that I needed. While we was together she had a good idea about stockings! (sewed ones) So that got me to thinking!

So after saying good bye and making plans to get together next sat again we split ways.

On our way home we stopped by Hobby Lobby to have a look around. There I found 1/2 a yard of some nice fabric for a stocking. Since it was 30% off I got it! Then we just strolled around there for awhile. But something told me to look at the fabric again. So we did. That's when I saw a different fabric and got a great idea! A non-traiditonal stocking in a rocking color combo! (wait till you see it!) I am not going to say here what it is. You will have to wait till I post a pic of it finished!

After this we went to check out and check on my RainCheck....I got it 11 days ago...its still not in! Which is not good at all! I need those beads for my Rani. They only had 6 packs of them that day and I need 3 more. (they was on sale for 99cents each thats why I got the RainCheck) I asked when they might be in and the manager said...."I don't know. But another truck comes in Wed..so Call back close to closing on Thursday or call Friday." UGH Do these people not understand that I need these beads now and not MONTHS down the road?

But I know I have tons more things to knit in the mean time. So that is what I am doing.

I finished my Ribbon Scarf today and started another scarf.

This one is made with the Ribbon yarn that I posted in my Yarn Porn post.

This one is being knit with some new yarn that I found on sale at Hobby Lobby today.Yarn Bee Melody Bulky Wool Blend 70%Wool/30%Acrylic 129yds color Violets/104 It is a step above Red Heart in feel. But i do like it. Its being knit on size 13's. So far so good. (no pattern just some randomness.)

Other than this I also found a skin of Patons Silk Bamboo 70%Bamboo/30%Silk 102yds Color Bark/85013 on sale for less than half price! This stuff feels wonderful to the touch! I might have to get more one day!

After this running around we came on home and sat in bed till about 30 mins ago watching British tv then some random things. But now the hubby is playing WOW and I am about to watch Fearless and do some more knitting till I get sleepy. So this is where I end tonight.

Remember to keep in touch with your friends. They help keep you happy!
