I woke up feeling pretty crappy today. After a few hours into the day, I thought, hey, it's dark and grey and wet and raining. It's Monday. The boy broke up with me. And it's Valentine's Day. I get to be whiny and mopey and depressed. That made me feel better.

Along with going shopping with Angela yesterday, we also went to Stitches West 2005! I didn't attend any classes, just checked out the yarn market. Oh. Oh my. Angela can attest to the fact that my brain basically just shut down as we walked through the doors, because so. much. yarn. Everywhere! *gibbers* I couldn't even figure out where to start looking, there was so much. Hanks of yarn dyed in every color imaginable hanging everywhere, in rainbow colors, soft pastels, mixed colors, all of them with lovely nubbly textures or soft and cushy. I tried to run my fingers over everything, it was so beautiful. And in the back corner was a place where you could take spinning lessons for $5! With an actual spinning wheel! If I had had more time, I probably would have stopped there to try.

Anyhow, there was so much yarn there that my mind basically blanked. I did make out with about 7 some balls of a beautiful lavender alpaca. Ohhhh so nice. So soft! Such pretty colors!

I still can't believe there is so much yarn in the world! It's amazing!

And thanks to rilina for the CD, which I love, and __angela__ for the book and the drawing, which are both wonderful!

And Amazon says Angel S5 shipped yesterday, joy.

I'm going to spend the rest of today huddled under blankets and nursing my wounds, I think.

Glad to hear you got the cd. :)

Mmmlavendermmm... ;-)

I'm hopeless at knitting (although not too horrible at crochet -- just slow), so I'm incredibly envious of you!

[oyceter]

Hee, I'm actually almost scared to knit all the yarn I've bought because it's so nice! I hope I don't ruin it.

That's one of the great things about working with yarn: if it doesn't come out the way you want, you can always unravel it and try something different. ;-)

Hey, if it works....it works! The beautiful yard and Angel S5 also sound good.

Angel! So excited! I shall watch the finale again and weep like mad.

[livinglaurel.livejournal.com]

Aww. But good weeping!

I know just how you feel When I went to a bead show I wanted to bury my hands in the hanks of pearls and crystals and gems. Ribbons of chain--silver, pewter, gold. Tray after tray of amber, jade, jet. And the beaded shawls! It was amazing.

Ohhhh that sounds gorgeous! It was just so much stuff! My mind still can't quite handle it ;).

Angel S5! Sorry you had a bad day, but I hope the DVDs made it better. :-)

[oyceter]

DVDs make everything better!

Ooooooo! Alpaca! I've never worked with it, but I've heard that it is SO soft! Isn't it amazing all the yarn out there?

My mom and aunt were at Stitches West too and they were equally impressed. I wish I could've gone. But I am enjoying the second-hand accounts. ^_^

It is soooo soft! And all the yarn! *boggles* When I think about it, my mind keeps shutting down. Just... too much color and texture and everything!
