One Year Ago & HELP ME BUY YARN

Don't you love reading back through your blog to see what you were doing one year ago today? Well I do, I think it's one of the major benefits of keeping a blog.

Anyhow, guess what I posted one year ago today? The Irish Hiking Wristwarmers which gets about oh, 75% of the hits on Wine and Needles these days. History in the making, I guess.

Also, [about] one year ago I posted this meme, which I feel like doing again:

15 years ago today, I was…
1. in 4th grade, with the best teacher in the world (I still keep in touch with him today!)
2. picking up a softball for the first time. What a lost cause that was.
3. dancing the role of 'the Dream Matchgirl' in The Little Match Girl ballet.

10 years ago today, I was…
1. driving around with my learners permit
2. thinking I was hot shit because I was on Junior Varsity cheer.
3. obcessed with Mochas

5 years ago today, I was…
1. working the 6am shift at a Juice Bar. In college. What was I thinking...
2. using a fake ID (ssshhhhhh....)
3. taking tumbling for the first time in 3 years. OUCH!

3 years ago today, I was…
1. living in Santa Cruz, CA. Someone please remind me why I left that place!
2. working 2 jobs and studying for my MA
3. at the SPCA rescuing Viva

1 year ago today, I was…
1. nervously waiting to see if I got the Outreach job @ SJSU
2. ready to start a new chapter in my life
3. dating like crazy

So far this year, I have…
1. finally decided to move home (giving in, I would call it)
2. bought a new car
3. gained a best friend

Yesterday, I…
1. received some lovely parting comments from collegues at SJSU
2. got into bed at 9pm (WAY early for me)
3. picked out new furniture at target.com

Today, I…
1. had Tom Yaml Soup for the first time
2. will pack MORE stuff
3. knit at the staff Holiday party

Tomorrow, I…
1. will be GLAD it's Friday
2. will go out to dinner and probably drink too much to celebrate the end of my job
3. will visit my LYS for the last time!


If you are still here, I have a question based on that last one: If you were visiting your LYS for the last time and were planning to spend a little $$$, what would you buy? I need some guidance so I just don't start grabbing.... HELP?

Calmer (a girl can never have too much). Colinette. A Colinette kit. Some of the Claudia's handpainted. Kidsmack Haze, in any of its variants (regular, night, or spray). Cashmerino. Alpaca Silk. Cash Iroha. Silk Garden. Lantern Moon rice baskets to hold it all in. The supercool Louisa Harding stuff that's the same fiber content as Cashmerino, but has a contruction like Rowan Cork (it's on the brass shelf back near the Workshop entrance). BOOKS. Cashsoft, pick a weight. Um...I dunno. ;)

Guilty! I saved a link to your wrist warmers last month because I was using your pattern.
Thank you for sharing it :)

Delia, I have a new vineyard for you to try. It is Duckhorn Vineyards. I have the White Zin. Yesterday's SF Chronicle had an article about new vineyards to try.
I'm hoping to drink it this weekend.
