I'd have to say the most anticipated was that my Ravelry invitation finally arrived! What a beautiful distraction it has become; not a whole lot getting done in my "real" life. (So what??) I haven't really begun taking photos of projects or my stash, but that's what Sundays are for.
I joined a couple groups and added one for my LYS - Main Street Yarns & Fibers in Watkinsville, GA. I stopped by the shop on my way home after creating the group and the gals there were excited to meet me and joined the group as soon as they could. I have to say I was proud to create a (virtual) place for area yarn-aholics to hang out. I hope it will serve as a place for us to go to learn what's happening in the shop and who's hanging out (in person) where.
The Metro Atlanta Shop Hop begins next week. I thought it started this weekend and was looking forward to visiting some shops in Atlanta tomorrow, but it's not for another week. Big deal, right? Wrong. I'm heading to Blacksburg, Virginia to see the Virginia Tech Hokies play the Florida State Criminols, and I will be leaving Friday after work and heading straight to Savannah on Sunday after the game to spend a few days with my husband at a conference. I will not be back until Tuesday and then I'm heading back to VA for another game Friday. Long story short - I don't know if I'll be able to visit ANY SHOPS during the hop! How ticked am I??? I'll see what I can do, but:
My Knit Picks order arrived! The only thing I've been able to use successfully is the gadget bag. The yarn is lovely but the sock pattern I was so eagerly awaiting is toe-up and uses a provisional cast-on, a skill that is proving to be quite elusive. I may need to head to MSY&F tomorrow for a quick demonstration, or to pick up a stitch dictionary. I was sure Knitting Help and Knit Picks' Knitting Room would be all I needed, but I'm just not getting it... I'm just so excited to start socks, I wonder if I'm in over my head? I've turned a few pages back in Cat Bordhi's book, and plan to start with the Simple Sock in Three Sizes instead of the Cable Top Sock, so I'll be picking up some yarn at the lys as well. TOFUtsies? We'll see. Meanwhile the ribbed hat in Lion Homespun I was making for my brother has turned out a little too small. Another children's FO. Sheesh.
