It was another one of those days:
And what a surprise! Sure, I’ve bought more yarn recently, but I swear, I’m just giving a good home to other people’s yarn! Caitlyn had some extra Cotton Ease and I only have 4 skeins of Cherry Red Cotton Ease to begin with. It’s discontinued you know:
Then I rescued some poor yarn from Yahaira. Don’t worry, I won’t tell the yarn you abandoned it!
I got my first magazine from my Knit N Style subscription (I wanted to try out all the knitting magazines, and I got points from Points.com which at some point will add up to a Starbuck’s card or something). And finally, the only yarn I purchased new [that I received today: I think I have two outstanding orders]:
It’s some cotton yarn (a mini-cone compared to my other one) that is marked Crystal Palace on the inside, but I didn’t find any record of it on the Crystal Palace website. I seriously blame my sleep deprivation of late (you’d think that a 1 and 2 1/2 year old would sleep, wouldn’t you? Not mine.) for all the yarn ordering. I’m delirious. I really hope it stops soon. How did people amass large yarn stashes without the Internet? Maybe that would be a good paper topic, since I am back in school.
I am, for the fourth time, taking Media Ethics, this time taught by a former classmate, Bill, who is a lawyer in the communications/media type field so is a really good choice to teach this class. The other two teachers are not as good, definitely, and maybe not as well prepared, even though one of them is also a lawyer. Sorry, “attorney”. I think this one will be interesting, even if I have to race from home to drop off IM at my MIL’s, run to class, run back to the car, pick up OR at school and pick up IM at my MIL’s every Tuesday until December. I am finally in the home stretch — the last three classes in my fourth year in a one year program.
So, back to knitting. As you know, I re-cast on for Soleil. Not much progress there:
and I am now working on my Raglan Tansy Tee. It is supposed to be striped, and I was just going to knit it straight, but since I have so much other yarn I figured I might see what else I can get gauge with. Right now the favorite (without having figured gauge in yet) looks wise is my Filatura di Crosa Clips. I’ll be doing gaugeing soon.

lol I didnt abandon it did I? I just sent it to a better home/future : )
where did you find a cone of crystal palace?
Media Ethics! That sounds interesting! Of course ethics was what I studied in grad school. Where are you taking these classes? What is your one-year program?
Great Stash enhancement by the way.
Oh, that red cotton ease looks nice! I can’t decide if I want to hunt down another ball of black for a Tivoli, or make it out of something else. Or just not make it for a bit….hrm!
I got the Crystal Palace (they called it “Biwa” because it is Biwa Cotton, apparently) from onefineyarn.com, which was recommended by Knitter’s Review as one of the cheap places to buy yarn. I’m not sure what I’ll use it for though, it doesn’t appear to have much give.
