It Was A Chilly, Cloudy Saturday...

Of course, Monday, after going back to work....almost 70.

Made a trip to Wellington today. Wonderful Guy has a bug, so we were laying low, around the house. I thought it a likely time for a trip to Nanytutu's, as I had read on Ravelry about a yarn sale there. (Yes, I need more yarn. Shut up!) It was 20% off (all balls and skeins are 20% off until the end of the month of March - ALL). I bought some Crystal Palace Maizy, that stuff made with corn fiber, and some Panda Silk. I have gone sock yarn bonkers, I fear. Ah well, it is for gifts, I tell myself...and others. I ran into fellow travelers from the Brown Sheep Mill trip there. It's a small knitting world here in northern Colorado.

I talked to Dearest Sister for an hour and a half today. We had some good, almost too good, laughs. Everyone should have someone they can share with on such a basic level, with whom there can be no pretension because that person knows them like no other. Dearest Sister is my such person. On the other hand, I know her equally well. The playing field is level. She was my best and dearest support when I was going through the Dee-vorce. We often have shared with each other the dream of growing old together like the spinster sisters on 'The Waltons', who made the 'recipe'. Not that we have a recipe, but we have other pursuits that keep us active and interesting, not to mention, quite humorous to our offspring. We share serious thoughts, too, about our future and our past. But usually, we end up making jokes. And laughing. Sometimes too hard. Dearest Sister is my best friend.

Look at the bebe sockees!

Further progress has even been made. Heel has been turned and gusset is about half done. And there is still knitting to be done tonight. Why, at this rate, I am going to need all that sock yarn!
