Yarn for Kathleen
Kathleen got herself knocked up.
(granted.... it was by her husband, and they planned it -- but its just more fun to say "knocked up" doncha think?).
I was a big big dork and scheduled my flight to Atlanta last week during her baby shower. I felt like poop. I realized the timing of things while I was in Salt Lake City -- so I stopped at one of my favorite yarn shops there: Soul Spun Yarn and found some great yarn for Kathleen. She had learned how to knit awhile ago -- but last month after a lovely double date with our husbands, I helped teach her how to cast-on and knit, again. I also introduced her to all the wonderful videos on KnittingHelp.com -- and now she's knitting like a fool.
Kathleen's husband Paul stopped by this evening, so I gave him the yarn to deliver to her. I've got to figure out a pattern for her -- but whatever it is -- its gonna be SO nice -- I love this yarn. I got her one skein of Brown Sheep Company's "Lamb's Pride" bulky yarn in "Creme-M10", and two skeins of Crystal Palace's "Musique" in Picnic-9134. I'm thinkin I may have to buy some of this myself -- I'm gonna have yarn-envy.
And speaking of which... I think whatever I buy for the yarn swap I'm going to have to buy double of, so that I don't get yarn envy after I mail it out. yeah -- good excuse (I mean reasoning). I <heart> yarn.
