This morning, I woke up with a bit of a cold. I'm working hard to fight it off so it doesn't grow big by consuming lots of vitamin C! On the other hand, if there's a time to get sick, I think this is kind of it, because it would suck to have been sick in Boston or over Christmas.. but I don't really want to get sick, so there you are.
Anyway, today I finished knitting the socks I'm making for Tyler while listening to The Tempest book-on-tape, which was pretty super. I'm very pleased with these, so whenever I see him, I'll be able to give them to him.
In Maple Grove, then, is this lovely yarn store I just discovered called Amazing Threads! I trekked out there (after a quick stop at Michael's for some yarn I knew Amazing Threads wouldn't have, since it's all acrylic and "metallic polyester," but still wonderful) and got some excellent yarn for my next project: leg-warmers for ________ except she already knows they're for her, so I guess it isn't a secret.
Anyway, tonight I knitted a couple of gauge swatches, and right now I'm planning out what these leg-warmers are going to look like. I've never made leg-warmers before, so I'm going to do some exploring of patterns on Ravelry just to get my bearings..
It's my sister Laura's birthday today!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LAURA!!!!!
love, Jimmy
