awe, i was so so ready for an outing today its nice and sunny out there but colder then cold still only 16 degrees. brrrrrr. so glad i am not walking in all this.
Hubby told me this am when i met him at the kitchen table for coffee to get Da Egg ready because it was time to take it out to the LYS and enter it in.
so i did shy sort of would rather hide behind him then hand over an egg in person LOL
we had to go to Joann's though i promised a lady that works there that knows me that i would show Da Egg to her before i entered it she works checking everyone out. she got on the store intercom and told one of the gals she works with to come to the front right now you have to see this. both ladies and several customers just went ga ga ga over Da Egg made me feel really good. of course i had everyone of my buddies on line that check the blog all the time right behind me made me feel even better. kinda like that phone commercial of having all those people behind you. hum cant think of the name of it off hand.
anyway, off to the book store to buy a knitting book of course hubby spoils me so badly . pay day and i get yarn and books and breakfast out. lucky me. so i bought Stitch n Bitch Nations. going to knit that other sock and read that book and check it out from cover to cover. and of course had to shwo the guy that works at the book store Da Egg he knits sweaters once in awhile so him and i are always talking knitting and he is always keeping me up on the new books that come in before i knew it all the people that worked there gathered around him and Da Egg and they just loved it looked at each item in it and oohed and awed at it all.
off to the Yarn Store. In we went. the lady owns it was busy helping out a customer so i went to look for yarn hubby busied himself looking at yarn too picking up several skeins checking out labels and feeling the yarn squeezing it all like he was a pro knitter. LOL pretty soon the lady that owns the store walks over and says is there something i can help you with today. i stretched out my arm with the bag that had Da Egg in it and said yea here you go. she took the bag fast and squealed with delight like a kind in a candy store. ran away from me to open it up on a table where she could get a better look and said i cant believe it omg you did this !!!!! This is your entry!!!!??? yes it is :) she couldn't say enough about it . said it was the first entry and said now you know i want you do to more . can you do more knitting ? enter as many times as you want ok. i said ok not a problem i can do that for sure just like i did the green hat along not a problem at all. thinking all the while what else am i going to do after all i am not working right now . so i have tons of time but then its to cold out there to do much else and knitting keeps me sane LOL
so since i am doing socks now i will think up some Easter theme in those . maybe throw in a hat . who knows its all in the adventure shyness be gone i have no time for you .
my daughter just loved her poncho i was so so happy that she did it is her brithday today and her dad and i stood in her office full of people everywhere and sang happy brithday to her loud as we could hum ok so i may not be as shy as i think i am LOL
awe but if i was at marti gra it would have to be "THROW ME SOME YARN MISTER !!! dont ask where that one came from it just did .
my foot is screaming for the other sock. so i better get with it and go knit that one up. i have the cuff of it done just have to take my time and knit the rest. i should have it done before dinner though i hope i would like to have happy feet tonight not cold ones LOL
