1 Photo in 3 was in focus

It's been one of those days/weeks/lifetimes.

I cannot believe how much stuff I got in that bag.  Who needs plastic bags when you can have an angry little girls tote bag?

And no. 

Nothing for you.

Well...

Maybe...

But no.

Somehow... like I don't know how it happened, I ended up at my LYS on my way to the post office, which is in a different zip code from the LYS.  Go figure.

Great changes are taking place at my local yarn store and I'm looking forward to everything being finished and complete.

While I was visiting, I made a point of getting the new issue of Piecework magazine, which has an Estonian shawl pattern by Nancy Bush in it.  It's all nupps and loveliness and, thanks to Margene, I already have the yarn for it.

I also got some more wool wash, so I was able to finally wash some socks and my worsted weight Swallowtail.  During the cold months, I use it like a bathrobe in the mornings and it needed a good soaking before the weather turns cool again.

Yes, it's the end of July and I'm already planning for winter.  I have to.  It's the only way I can survive in this climate.  You people have no idea what's it like. 

Unless you do.

In other news, there is no other news, and I'm not sure that's newsworthy.

Yeah, I got nothing.

Happy Thursday, people!

I do so love that bag.
Oooh, Nancy Bush has a new pattern out? I occasionally forget that I preordered her new book for my birthday but my little ears perk up whenever I hear her name. (You know, in a reading-on-the-internet fashion.)
Can I be Nancy Bush when I grow up? I looked it up on Ravelry...WANT.

We get like three days of winter....if we're lucky. We usually get snowbirds...which is worse than summer.

I was going to ask you if you had that magazine. That shawl has interesting construction and more than enough nupps. What yarn?
Glad you're using the bag.

Love that bag. must show it to daughter. then there will be one more loving that bag.
Must go check out the new Nancy Bush shawl.

[Stacey]

I love your new header! Is that Art Dept East? I like the Fuck! bag from that store. I ended up subscribing to Piecework because of all of the great stuff in there.
xoxo (((hugs))))

That shawl is nupp-overload, but I think I must knit it.

[KellyS]

grats on teh laundry!

[Angie]

Do people give you extra space when you carry that bag? I think my California girls need to visit the Midwest (Wisconsin, especially) in the summer. We would all be happier. :D

I have that issue.....somewhere.

[Opal]

I adore that tote. I might have to get one for myself. It's a tote right? So that doesn't really count as a -bag-. Otherwise that might be the 4th bag I buy this month. *gulp*

[Nora]

Yes, what Angie said. Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival, Cookie. Live the dream.

I love the header!! I love the bag even more. You should also have one that says "Shut Up and Knit," methinks. (Or maybe "Keep your shit tight." Or both.)

I cannot wait to see your interpretation of the Nancy Bush scarf. Your bag says it all doesn't it? Have a great weekend!!! Oh, and I washed my woolens last weekend, so we're both on the same page;-)

[Heather]

[sandy]

Oh. MY GOD! That bag is PERFECT! Somebody really knows you! :D
I cannot wait to see you knot that new Nancy Bush shawl!I just love nupps!!

Popping in fron Tucson to say hi.

It's hot and raining here. Magnificent lightening storm last night.

The shawl is beautiful, but you already knew that.

TT

[JessaLu]

That bag is awesome.

[KnittyOtter]

That is so perfect for you.

I think I need to get myself the "Shop with a reusable bag b*tch!". *L*

I need to go look through that magazine. I don't think I've ever seen it before. The name sounds familiar though.

The air is already much cooler at night and in the mornings. We jumped into summer and skipped fall. If we do that with winter and skip fall I'm gonna be pissed. :/

*HUGS*
