I want to go knitting shopping this weekend, although my darling S would say that it is crazy talk, and why do I have to have all this damn yarn, etc. Except that this mission is actually a mission to help Hammer learn to knit fair isle style, and therefore this is a purchase for the greater good. Is it my fault that in the process I will end up with a kick-ass skirt at the end of it? The greater good.
S really loves it when I rationalize things like that. Our conversations like these usually ends up with him laughing at me because I say it so seriously, like our life is a sit-com and I'm just churning out the lines. And he's my personal laugh-track. I haven't taught him to go "Awwwww" at the really sweet moments yet, but I'm sure we'll get there.
We're probably going to hit Shall We Knit? in New Hamburg, mostly because I've never been there before and I'm dying to see it. The Record did up a nice article on the owner of the place, and I do love small businesses - so much more personal, and you can find the neatest things.
Ok, time to stop daydreaming and finish another baby blanket (a friend had a little boy, I'm using the same pattern I used to make my friend's baby girl a blanket.)
Woo! Also, I simply cannot wait for this site to be up and public!
