In personal news, I am losing my roommate. My wonderful and absolutely FABULOUS roommate. She is moving in with her boyfriend and leaving me at the end of August. Which means, I'm not only losing an almost perfect roommate, but I now have to find a NEW roommate. I've never done that before. I've always been on the end looking for a place. My plan is to clean up and take some pics and then post an ad on Craigslist. Wish me luck that I'll be able to find someone who will be able to move in at the end of August so I won't have to pay the full rent amount for Septemeber!
In knitting news, I am filling my calendar with swaps and KALs. I think I've reached my limit now though. I'm doing the Starbucks & Yarn, Project Runway #5 (which isn't a REAL swap since I'm just sending a small prize to the winner of my group), the DC Central Park Hoodie KAL and the Hat Attack 2. Yeah, I think that's enough for my limited knitting capability. I also have my first pair of socks, my sister's poncho and starting on slippers for X-Mas gifts. Yeah DEFINITELY think I have enough knitting!
Oh, didn't want to forget to mention the FABULOUS party thrown by Wendy & Sarah. It was Iron Chef: Battle
LIME! and it went off wonderfully. LOTS of good food (I did a variation on Cheesy pie where I used
lime juice instead of lemon) and a good time was had by all. Thanks again to the lovely ladies in Westover! :) I have pictures that I'll post at a later date, but just wanted to drop a quick line and thanks.
Well, I think that about covers it for now. I'm heading to the LYS tonight to get my yarn for my S&Y swapee and my CPH, which I am really excited about! Talk to you all soon! :)
I have been very remiss. The second part of my fabulous Starbucks & Yarn package came on Monday and I have not written about it. That's very bad of me, especially considering how WONDERFUL and BEAUTIFUL all of it is. Thank you again Lynn for the fabulous package and all of the beautiful yarn! The cup cozies are great as well. I'm going to have to go shopping for bigger mugs though! But hey, I love any reason to shop!
Here is a close up of the beautiful yarn. The two green hanks are Posh yarn. I had seen a brief reference of this on Ravelry (I think I may have come across it because Lynn is in the Ravelry group). It has to be some of the SOFTEST yarn I have ever touched! And the green is GORGEOUS! And the other hank is such a pretty mix of blues and purples. I love it so much!
And last (but by no means least!) are the VERY well done cup cozies. They are such a beautiful shade of soft green and blue. And I of course how she did the ones in contrasting colors and swapped the two colors. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Lynn! for SUCH a wonderful package. I was really lucky when I got you for a spoiler!!!
