Been a busy day

[ianuk]

Well, wednesday was pretty busy with all day meetings. I was exhausted when I was done and left work to head to knit night. I grabbed a tuna sammy at beyond bread, saw Becky from knit night and she commented I looked exhausted. Yup, sure was. Enjoyed my sammy at knit night and worked on my mitt. By about 7 ish I had used up my yarn I had. So I shopped around and got two books and some yarn. I got Folk Shawls and The Knitter's Book of Wool and some lanaloft from brown sheep.

Got home and tore through my stash to realize that I didn't have another ball of yarn for my project and that I had bought that yarn in Maryland. Sighs. Called around today and the colorway is discontinued but Tempe Yarn might have a close substitute. I'll check when I'm there on Saturday but I will probably have to order it from Webs. Annoyed that my pattern told me I would have enough yarn and I didn't. Oh, well...my increases in the cuffs etc probably used up my extra. Oh, well. I need to remember that mods update the yardage. So, I managed to start a little crobot from a book I got from xmas. And its gonna be super cute.

Work today has been brain draining and I'm tired. Hopefully the gym will perk me up. Not sure though. We shall see. I'm going to head home, grab food to take to Dan & Amanda and then collapse and finish the little crochet robot. All good. Oh, well, time to start shutting things down and go to do some WORK!

Oh, crud, I was in Baltimore today. I could have gone and found the store for you. If you happen to find it online at a store out here, let me know and I'll go get it for you.

I got the yarn in cumberland...quite a ways from Baltimore, though I'm not sure how far you had to drive...you might have gone through. Don't worry. Webs has some so I'm not too annoyed just annoyed with myself.

Oh, if you ever get to cumberland...go to Millicent's Yarns in downtown. Its AWESOME! And right next to a really, really good italian restaurant.

I just looked, it's on the other side of the state. It's two hours from my apartment and also two hours from where I was at in Baltimore. I'll have to keep this place in mind for daytripping on a future paycheck. I killed this one at the Apple Store (I upgraded!) and IKEA.
