Well, the wedding stole is not going to be complete by tonight - a long week at work meant that I did not get much knitting done during the week, so I still have 4 repeats to go... plus I have a busy weekend but one way or other, it will get done before the wedding next week!!!
The long week at work meant that I also momentarily forgot about the sKNITches shop update which ended up being on Thursday at noon and by the time I remembered on Friday morning practically everything was gone!!! What is with this competitive yarn buying?! I know in these kinds of cases people have product disappear from out of their shopping cart as it is purchased from under them by others before they have the chance to check out - craziness! Anyway, I joined in the frenzy belatedly and managed to get 1 skein of Big Tryst in Rubens, which was actually one of my favorite colorways anyway. In fact, as of right now, it looks like there's still one left... I also got 1 skein of Velocity in True and 1 skein of Kettle Drum in Amethyst. The good news is that I e-mailed Sam and she is going to do a custom order for me of the other Big Tryst colors that I want. I'd really like to make a Babette-like blanket but possibly knitted not crocheted and with squares the same size... I'm not exactly sure yet.
I guess the good thing about missing the shop update is that it meant that I managed not to buy any yarn at all in July! Obviously, the same is not going to be true in August but then, who doesn't buy yarn two months in a row?!!
