Trudging On and Actual Fiber Content

Sorry so quiet for so long, it's just been busy and before you know, it's the weekend. Honestly though the thought off typing this past week seems laborious after all the typing I've been doing at the real job. And a bit painful, but enough of my wristy woes I bet you want to see my fiber porn doncha now...

Without much further ado, fiber...This is the beginning of the Meathead hat from Stitch Marker.these balls are the Jojoland from Stitches. And yes I am begining one of Cookie's socks w/ the purple. And my first sock ever! I am sooo unsatisfied w/ bloggers layout, and this inability of mine to get the text next to the picts where I want it. But just know this is all for the picts now, enjoy...
Terra is one of the green and blues, this was from Purlescence a few weeks ago, check out the depth in the closeup shot, yawsa. And now last but not least, the angora skeins by Malabrigo in bright green and blue

Fiber Overload

Ahhhhh, stitches was delightful, but sooo overwhelming. How does one explain the countless rows of vendors or the massive amounts of fiber that filled the convention center. You just can't. I mean I could try, but just know it was massive to the point that I could get lost if I merely turned a corner.
I did come away w/ a few things, a bunch of 4 ply hemp from Lanaknits, and some Malabrigo chunky, and angora (yummmy). Then I also came away w/ some sock yarn from Jojoland, and 2 gorgeous glass shawl closures from Moving Mud. But it seems like I didn't grab that much for the amount of money I spent. But who cares when you have the latest patterns from Cookie, not all of them, but at least 3. The German Stocking, Gothic Spire, and I believe the other is Gothic Floral (?).
Unfortunately there aren't picts yet, but I'll get to it later.
How does one photograph soft? Well I'll see if I can manage a decent picture of the cuddleness of the angora Malabrigo.

In other news, the Boy got the wonderful job at the software company he was sooooo wanting. And now we'll be working in the same town, he almost has regrets leaving the BIG corporation. But at the same time as he is jumping ship, there are huge problems throughout his old company. I think this move is a great change, but I understand the discomfort of a new job, and the possiblities of it just sucking ass. So I suppose only time will tell.

It's not Monday!

Yeah for random holidays!
So for me all day has been one for ! points. First the boy got his desired interview for a wonderful software company, that's in the same town as I work! I so hope he gets that job, assuming it pays well enough for us to even consider buying a house. And then well, secondly I didn't have to work yesterday. Granted there's twice as much, but heh not sooo horrid.
What I did on my day off:
by Bonnie Boheme
What a lazy, lazy day today~zzz
To be able to sleep in on a lazy lazy day
To wake the boy at 2,
and fish around for something to do.
I must say what a day.
We went to play in a yarn shop around the bay
there were yellow ones,
and blue ones,
and I dare say some multicolored ones,
whoa hey!
And then off to Cameron's on another side of the bay.

okay, OK I give, uncle.
What's the world's worst poetry, by some woman in England, oh if the boys knew I was struggling over this, they would totally snigger. I must find that quote from the delectable Hitchhiker's Guide. (the book of course~but only rivaled by the delightful knitted sequence, and yarny guts all over the place~but I tangent, I tangent).
I will have photos of the prettiest skeins of yarn ever. I went back to Purlescense yesterday to return a mistaken ball of tapestry, and had to grab these gorgeous hanks from Terra, something or other, will find out and repost later. The colors in these things seem to actually resonate, in that there are depths to the color in these hanks. Too bad it's gonna be dark when I make it home, but I'll still try my best to get the picts.
So also yesterday, and yes I did drag the boy w/ my to the new LYS, we ventured on further. We aimed for Half Moon Bay, and made it there before the yarn shop down there closed. Sorry ladies, I didn't catch the name there, but talk about walls coated in balls (hehehehe). It was very lovely, and the owner was kind enough to tell us that The Two Fools Restaurant closed down! Well poo. So instead we headed over to Half Moon Bay brewing, just an hours wait! No thanks. Sooo then we went off to Cameron's. Fantastic English pub, food was rather decent, and well I didn't even have to gawk at any horrible service. In my book that's fantastic, since I can be rather brutal. Yeah that's what nearly 5 years of cock tailing, in a wanna be high end steak and fish place, will do to one's ability to go out and have fun. Did I mention the 2, yes 2 double decker buses out there. It was just a really cute, family pub.
Later (once I'm off work) I'll tell you what came in the mail today from Good to be Girl. Go take a peek around and maybe you'll see what she is sooo fabulous at making. Go on now, go look!
Back to work I must...yarrrnn!
