I went to Sacramento, California this week. When I found out I was going there to attend a course for work I was excited about it for yarny reasons in addition to all the other reasons I usually am. Sacramento is where Babetta's Yarn and Gifts is - the shop Franklin wrote about in The Panopticon.
Well, I couldn't get there. I sat all day in a classroom and had no transportation when I had free time. Even on Saturday when I had a few hours of free time there were other agendas to follow. Bummer!

No, I'm Not Dead
Well, just in case there are any readers out there who might be wondering.
I've been busy and quite ill and blog fodderless.
I've knit Rose's Wrist Warmers. I love them but apparently I have to give them to my sister who claims I made them for her. I could be strong and resist but I'd like to make a beret with the same cable pattern incorporated in there and I don't have enough yarn. So... I bought another colour of yarn to make another pair and a beret. I also bought a fashionably lime green colour for a pair for dd. That's her colour. She loves it. 'K?
I bought some lovely hand dyed wool from SeeJayneKnitYarns.etsy.com. The colourway called is cafe au lait (I think), creams graduating into browns - it called to me. I'd like to make some socks, or a pair of mitts or gloves might be nice.
Actually, I guess you could say I'm building my stash more than I'm actually using it. Dh mentioned it the other day..."you sure have a lot of yarn in our bedroom". I replied: "it's called a stash". Just so he knows the terminology. He's pretty good, really, quite supportive and he has learned what 'frog' and 'tink' mean - because I explain it quite often as I'm doing it, I guess.
