Ok, come on over!

The house is clean. Really. It's quite presentable. And the sheets are clean. I even washed the duvet cover. All laundry is done and put away. I'm proud.

I got a yarn catalogue today from a place that sells nice yarn at relatively reasonable prices. It's more expensive than the place I usually use but the yarns are scrumtious. Knitting is enjoying a rise in popularity but I don't see how people are affording it. Even with inexpensive yarns, an average sweater takes about $60-$100 in yarn. In this catalogue, I found a luscious sweater/jacket that looks very difficult to knit and uses beautiful yarns. If money was no object, it is the one I would order (it's a kit, yarn and pattern in one package). It's \4450. That's the yarn and the pattern. Amazing. I wonder who buys a kit like that?

Now I'm off to Mom's computer to do her Windows update... Then it will be TV time for moi.

Would love to come over so I could hear those knitting needles of yours go clickity click. And I would do some serious tummy rubs on those cats of yours

BTW I am positively in LOVE with that yellow yarn you are using.

You know it was not until recently that I noticed you have a stained glass window. Is it new or vintage?

[susandennis]

The yellow yarn is wonderful. It's such a cheery color and it's very soft (and really cheap!)... I think we'll see it again in another afghan!

Now, is this the stained glass you are talking about?



You have a sharp eye, missy! I didn't even realize any of that window was in my cams until you said something. But, the funny part is that it's not stained glass. It's a plastic thing you put over your window to fake it! Really. $20. I love it - and it also keeps the glare out. I had a friend here not long ago and she thought it was real, too. It's my favorite faux.

Check out www.smileysyarns.com their yarn is cheap compared even to what I pay at Walmart. They have some wool and a few other nicer yarns.

Yes, they are ok. Their website is very annoying and they selection is so limited. They never have the yarns I use. But if they have the yarns you want in their cheap pile, it looks like a good deal.

It is limited but I like the Lion Brand Thick and Quick Chenille and it is about half what it is in Walmart. I also got some 100% wool pretty cheap. I haven't gotten it yet though. The site is irritating.
