Working on my baby alpaca highand triangle shawl with the Denise interchangeable needles. I am happy! Just that 1st sentence is what makes my day. *I* bought some niiiiiiiice yarn for myself, *I* splurged on new knitting needles for myself and *I* am knitting a project for ME!!!
After the miscarriage, I wanted to splurge on myself, make it all better. Went to a 'chic' yarn shop, the kind that don't even say hi to me when I go in. Got GRRRRREAT service for the first time, I was in shock but of course pleased as can be. Maybe having Lucas with me helped, he can be quite the little charmer. ;) Also dh was there and had Lucas pet the big Saint-Bernard dog, maybe that's what made the owners warm up to us. It was nice to have friendly servie for once, hey I might look young but I do consider myself a good knitting customer. I knew what I wanted, had my pattern with me (the owner commented the shawl was beautiful and look really nice on me), I was friendly and had dh bring Lucas outside when he started to play with all the yarn balls he could find! LOL! I really want to go back soon as they had some Regia yarn on sale, why didn't I take it when I was there? ACK! Silly me, it does give me an escuse to go back though. ;)
I am having a great day, it's still early but we are planning to go down town and simply enjoy the day with the kids. Lucky us they like to shop and we did promise Zoe we would go try on some skates. teehee! She is beaming! :)
Wishing you all a super sunshine filled day. :)
