Pondering sans pictures...
I hope everyone had a great Kwana-Chana-Yule-Mas this year. I have to say, I did pretty well. While there's no boyfriend or hubby to shower me with gifts, there's always the 'Rents. And they came through. I got enough cash from the family as a whole to order another drum carder or a new wheel. But I'm not going to do that... tempting as it may be. But just what to buy... it's so tough. I look through Spin-Off in the bath tub and dream. I browse KnitPicks and other fiber/yarn sights like it's porn. Like you don't!
A few things I'd currently like to buy:
- The book 'Heirloom Knitting'
- The book 'Latvian Mittens'
- KnitPicks Options knitting needles
- An insane amount of fiber from Little Barn Inc
- More sock yarn
- A lace flier for my Traveller
- An iPod (see? Not everything is about spinning and knitting)
- A new kitchen table
- A tattoo
Sigh, what's a girl to do?
Mom loved her doilies. I couldn't figure out at first how I'd wrap them up. Then genius struck. I went to a thrift shop ad bought the most horrible Christmas album they had (in this case it was the Osmand Brother's "We Sing You A Merry Christmas." The last thing on earth my mom would every listen to. She laughed pretty hard when she opened it. All in all, a great holiday.
My next big lace pattern is a Niebling table cloth from a Burda Magazine. I'm going to see if I can bribe the German exchange student staying next door to my aunt with knitted goods to translate the short written instructions.
