No time for knittin' Dr. Jones!

The line is truly "No time for LOVVVVE Dr. Jones." It's from a movie.

This has been a busy week. Early on I had hopes of knitting a lot...but that dwindled as the week wore on. I did some knitting on Monday, or was it Tuesday??? That's it, my week has been a blur. Anyway, stopped by the Yarn Shop on one of those nights, met up with Audra. I wanted to pick up the BUCKEYE colors to knit another felted bag. We mused around a bit, then finally home, where I did start said bag. PS... am not liking the way I created the base, so I may rip and start again. I'm kind of making my own pattern up as I go. Anyway, I think I need to start over!

Then I had to cancel plans to attend the Wednesday night get together with the "west" side knitting group, which is really a grandview knitting group, but whatever. And I'm on the east side so.... does it matter really? I got tickets to a fabulous show, Angels and Airwaves. It was amazing, blew me away and my eardrums, too.

Then plans to knit on Thursday never happened because I was trying to help Aud download her pics from her camera so she can do her inventory and upload pics and such... only we had a few probs... but we had pizza and chatted and that was all good too!

And now it's FRIDAY?! I can't believe it, I am thankful that it is here because I am ever so tired, this has been a long exhausting week!

Today is the final day of my Ravelry swap and I need to get my partners stuff in the mail TODAY! I have everything put together, I just haven't been to the post office yet. Oh gee. So much to do!

Yarns and swaps

So... I've been interested in swapping. I've joined a couple of swaps on Ravelry. 2 of them were already in progress so I have to wait until March. However one is current, and I'm still really looking for stuff for my swap partner. I was really excited about some ideas, but am having troubles finding the right pattern for the yarn, or the right yarn for the pattern. It'll work out, but I went from super excited to bummed because what I want to be RIGHT isn't. So I'm rethinking the plan.

In other swap news, I signed up on Swap-bot. It sounds like a fun place to hang out and there are alll kinds of swaps going on all the time. I signed up for a couple easy ones, one is for pens, and the other is for postcards. Those should be fairly inexpensive and lastly, I signed up for a yarn swap. It's a color of the month and the 1st swap is red. There is a $20 limit. So I'll have to keep my eyes open on this one for something unique and interesting. I'm thinking I might be able to get something when we go to p-burgh. Of course we don't have partners assigned yet, so am not sure if I'll know what I need to buy by the time we go.

I hit up both the Yarn Shop and Knitter's Merc today looking for particular items, of which neither of them carry. :( I've done some hunting online and I can buy direct from the mfr, but I'd rather just get here, so I can get one skein to try and do a swap rather than spending $100 on several skeins and not liking it.

I guess if I'm patient, I will find the yarn I want eventually. Lord knows I don't NEED anymore right now. It's just stuff I have in mind for future projects.
