New goodies

This is my reward for making it through the week. It wasn't a really horrible week, but not great. I now apparently have allergies. I thought I just had a cold all week but decided to get some claritan as people were saying I may have allergies. I do feel a little better, but hardly slept at all last night. I got my car back today, it was inspected on Tuesday, and of course it needed a water pump. Husband did buy extended warranty though. But I just had his truck this week. I guess I shouldn't complain, I could have been without anything to drive. He has been in Texas this week. And we had a concert for two boys last night. I ask you, what teacher gives 50 kids kazoos to take home and tells them to bring them back? Unfortunately in a moment of no self control I asked the teacher that exact question. We had words. But son 5 had of course left his at home, and I didn't have time to drive home to get it. And they would not give out extras. The only thing I can say about it is about half of the kids did not have their kazoos! I'm all for holding them accountable, but I know from scouts you just never give out things you want back for an event. Stupid woman. It was a lesson for son 5, he didn't get upset about it, in the past he would have fallen apart.
Bought the yarn to make The Ernie Sweater from the Stitch N Bitch book. Son 5 wants it. It looks like stockinette hell. But he deserves it, he's such a great kid, he never asks for anything. And he takes a lot of abuse from having 5 brothers. I let him bring home 2 gerbils from his math teacher yesterday. He named them after his best friend and his best friend's brother.

Forgot to show a lovely book I scored at 20% off- thank you Kim!

New Yarn Harlot

My LYS (known as Yarns R Us in Hamburg PA) also received this in her boxes today. I love being there when the UPS guy comes, that's how I ended up with my Gelato bag kit. That is drying right now, and I'll blog that tomorrow. I was up until 1 last night giving it it's first felting wash.

More gloves for me!

Look at what my LYS owner found for me!!! She said she saw it at another shop and picked it up for me! I have seen a lot of beautiful mittens and gloves on Ravelry done with his book, I can't wait to figure out what to do first. I have a small supply of sport wight yarns I've been pulling together.
