Early Yuletide Celebrations
Today I went to the Shabby Sheep to stop in for the holiday party as well as to pick up yarn and needles to make presents. Busy as to be expected and warm and cozy. Aside from it being very cold and windy out you would have never know that stepping into the shop. The more people crammed in there the hotter it became. Everyone was in great spirits though. Upon seeing one of my favorite staffers I was given the great surprise of being informed I was getting a copy of a much desired pattern in a sold out magazine. She had spotted a stack of copies laying on a shelf in a local bookstore and grab up the remaining ones to give as gifts. I have been trying to get my hands on that issue since October. It's a very coveted edition. People are selling it on EBay for a ton of money. The Koolhaas hat pattern is going to be everywhere this winter but I don't care because I'll get to be apart of the madness with the beautiful ball of yarn I have for my very own Koolhaas. Sadly I have to wait to make it until I get at least "My Giant's" and "The Hobbit's" presents done. I'm cutting it very close on their gifts. I hope I can finish them in time.
I really need to find someone who can take pictures for me of all the crap I've blogged about but can't put up yet. Once I've given it all away I can throw up images of it all. Well back to knitting. Cheers mates.
