I Had to Buy Yarn

I walked down to Urban Arts and Crafts to purchase some yarn for my cruise. While I never really have time to knit on the ship, I do have tons of time in the airport. Finding just the right project to take on trips takes me much longer than packing. I found three purse patterns, so I walked down and bought the yarn. Of course she has so many spring colors there that I now have to go home and find some patterns and go buy some spring yarn. And then to top it off she had yarn marked down to 40% so you have to buy it, right? I had some class credits so I ended up getting yarn for 4 purses for less than half price. All in all a great lunch and two miles of exercise with the walk back uphill all the way for real. Now to find the right knitting bag to carry my projects in. I think perhaps the Yarn Ho bag will be large enough.

Why I Have to Have a Blog

I am not one for putting my personal life that no one cares about out there for everyone else to read, but... I want to join the One Skein Secret Pals Exchange so I had to create a blog or website. I think a blog is much easier since I already took a create a website course. So here is my first blog page to get started. Now that I have this created I can fill out my form. In case you want to join this and are knitterly obsessed like me check out www.oneskein.com/secretpal.asp. It will guide you in signing up and tell you exactly what you need.
