FINALLY - Knitch got the long-awaited Luxe roving, Veni Vidi Vici. The store emailed me yesterday afternoon, I was there last night, I bought two braids. Yippie!
One of the Thursday night knitter/spinners and I almost got into a fight - well, almost... Not really, we only pretended. Right after plopping my bag down at the big table, I swooped down on the goody basket and grabbed two of the treasures. And of course I grabbed the two braids she liked best. She had looked at them earlier but didn't pick any out. SORRY!!!
Both braids (do you call these thingies braids?) are supposedly the same dye, but look very different. The dye is called Berry Berry Good. Each braid weighs 4.5 oz and is Superwash Merino from Luxe Fibre. YUMMY!!!
OK - now - if your name is Jen from JenLa, you have the choice of picking one of the two. A good reason to get together, hmmmmm?
You know what is shocking? I have to go shopping at the outlet mall this weekend to buy some stuff for the Germans. Mainly for my niece and nephew. But I am really not excited... I don't know why - maybe it's because I'm getting old and nowadays I go shopping with a list to be efficient and not forget anything (because there's no time to go back). Or maybe because I would rather sit at home and knit on Dad's vest and watch Deadwood. Karen (girl - you need to update your blog!!!) lent me the first season of Deadwood on DVD yesterday. She warned me that there is A LOT of foul language. But that's OK because the fiber dogs don't care, so I can watch the DVDs with the "children" being present. I IMDb'ed the show this morning and the only cast member I recognized by name was Keith Carradine. Maybe another indication that I am getting old? Or maybe it has to do with the fact that I don't watch TV. Yes, we don't have cable and we do survive. :-)
These are the main tasks for this weekend:
Work on Dad's vest
Go shopping for the Germans
Work on Dad's vest
Meet a couple of dear knitting friends before I fall off the planet (aka leave the US for three weeks)
Work on Dad's vest
Clean the house
Work on Dad's vest
Oh, and have I mentioned that I need to work on Dad's vest?
I am knitting solely on Dad's vest these days, not on anything else - all other UFOs are on stand-by. Have a nice weekend!

Oh man! The choices! Hmm... let's see... I think I'm going to have to go with #2. Wait, no! #1. No. #2
Yes, definitely the second, paler one. LUCKY ME!!
I broke the news to Jared today that I'd rather go knit than get my sheep on Sunday. It sounded very weird coming out of my mouth. Still dependent on the people I'm getting them from, but I'll let you know.

I love Deadwood. You may not recognize many of the actors who play in it now, but we've started seeing them all over since we watched the DVDs. I'll be watching Law and Order, and I'll tell Robert, "Hey, Calamity Jane is on L&O again!" :)
