postman pig
I got mail!
I've been awaiting the arrival of this after Sundara and I exchanged a few emails in my pursuit for the perfect baby green. This is a bit brighter than most yarns I usually choose, but the more I look at it, the more I like it. It's very evenly dyed, but there are little subtle flecks and variations throughout each skein. And it's sooooooo soft. Nice and buttery.
I started a little swatch on size 8s since I'm a tight knitter (recommended is size 5-7), and I think the fabric is a little too firm. During our thursday nite tv, I'm going to try out the 9s and 10s. It's important that this be figured out before our trip on Saturday- Cary and I are going to see my family in Arizona. It's funny to me that swatching, winding yarn, and photocopying patterns are essential packing steps.
The bichon monster will be vacationing for the week at Camp Rick, a four-star resort complete with a fenced in yard and 24/7 attention from a person who's not keen to her sneakiness or annoyed by barking at every single doorbell on tv. She'll be packing up her kerchief and swinging her stick over her shoulder tomorrow.

Your bichon barks at the doorbells on TV? Mine's quirk is freaking out when you sneeze. It's a cross between barking and getting as close to your nose as possible with a look on his face that simultaneously says, "Is it the apocalypse?" and "Anything for me to clean up?"
Really been enjoying your blog.
