OK.....I'm sitting here at the computer listening to TCU kick Vanderbilt's women's basketball behind...my intentions were to complete the sleeve on the baby cardigan I started last week..I have the back and fronts completed...so far so good,lol...but instead of knitting..I perused knit blog pages...came across Shobnista's page...had to leave her a note....the sis is inspiring!!!...anyho...found my way onto amazon...ordered Vintage knits...Painted Country...The Last Dragon dvd(this last one being buttafly's fault)lol.....some Koigu yarn to make a shawl for myself in shades of green(just colored my LOCS red).....My loft is mess with yarn shopping bags everywhere...Do yall feel me,lol(da madness...da madness..da madness) See how I'm living
Before the yarn took over....the after pic is just too scary to put out in cyber world....I must clean the loft before the New Year rolls in....I want to feel peaceful while watching Sex in the city, and la femme nikita marathons...knitting on my sofa...while my faithful sidekick Yohji chills by my side...lol
