It's Saturday, right?

It's running errands day here in the burbs, and, for some reason, I actually joined in on the errands madness today.

Normally, I try to do them during the week first thing in the morning, but this morning something just came over me.

Good thing, too!

The panda fabric is actually a little tote type bag that I found in the Dollar Spot at the Target.  I thought it would make a cute sock in-progress bag because it's big enough to hold a pattern as well as yarn and a sock in-progress.

Plus, once upon a time, I loved a boy who was named Panda.

However, that was a long time ago in a land far far fucking far away...

Isn't the yarn lovely?

It is Sundara Yarn.  A silk lace weight in a tomato-y color way. 

This yarn made record time from Sil to me.  Crazy good travel time.  Turns out this yarn has been teasing Sil for years now.  Playing hard to get in a way that only silk lace weight can.  It has been sent me to in the hopes that I can beat it into submiss-...

...

...  err...

In the hopes that I can make something pretty lace like out of it.  Sil has faith in me and I do love silk lace weight, so it should go well.  Once I finish the current socks in progress and one or two other things in line ahead of this pretty yarn.

What else? 

I got nothing. 

Skies are mostly blue.  The cat is out of the bathroom, and things could be worse.  Ya know?

Happy Saturday, people!

I'm so glad you made it home! People run away from this town on the weekends... well except for the weirdos who come to go 4 wheeling. (((hugs)))
What ever you come up with, it will be wonderful. How many yards is it?
My Scooter loves the bathroom window for some reason.

cute bag.

We too went out into the masses today to deal with Saturday crowds. Although all I came home with was some prints for a client. *pout*

That's some pretty silk laceweight. I'm glad to hear you have some blue skies.

Cute bag! ;o)

Was he irritable?
Love the laceweight. Do you have a pattern in mind or direction from Sil on what it should be? (Besides lace, I mean.)

[claudia]

Poor Sil. So lace deprived.

cough, cough.

Cute panda fabric! Too bad "the" panda is a goof for falling out of your good graces.

We did errands in a small town in the morning with no problem then I had to get feline food this afternoon in the big city. /sigh.

Love the tomato red description of the yarn. Sil came to the right person to coerce loveliness to appear.

Happy Saturday, Cookie!

My sister is rather mean...I must reiterate, it's not the yarn - it's me. Sounds like the breakup speech doesn't it? Thanks for taking my yarn under advisement.

The panda bag is darling. The silk laceweight is gorgeous. Hope your Saturday is or was wonderful.

OMGosh! I love that panda fabric! I have a panda bag too. I should take a picture of it. The panda's look like they're on shrooms or something though. :-D

[Sarah]

That is a fabulous little tote. The new lace yarn is ready for the needles, and it is enough for something fabulous.

[Devorah]

Yes, you are the queen of beating yarn into submission! Good luck with this new challenge!

[Nora]

If anyone can whoopass on that yarn, you can. It's very pretty. And the bag is fab!! I should get something other than ziplocks for my sock projects...

xo

[Carole]

You sound almost joyful today. Who are you? And what have you done with Cookie?

[gale (she shoots sheep shots)]

Nice yarn! Love to see your new shawls appear, like magic (to me, anyway).
BTW, your new banner is spiffin'.

Love the Panda bag chickie. May have to raid the Dollar Spot at my target and see if I can find a mate.
