I was in danger of having a day so bad

that not even the new Knitty could make a difference.

But after I got past all the stress, I was able to pull myself together.

In better news, I totally rocked my storytelling final yesterday, so one class down, three to go.

Aah, life, it does throw some curveballs.

Also, I found out that my local yarn store stocks Tatany Tweed, so I don't have to pay shipping. Now, I just have to wait for their next shipment of Navy.

Sheep for sale - $2000

Gorgeous flock of Shetland sheep (8) all colors. Great for spinning and yarn work. Registered. Also have 3 Angora goats. $50 each. All must go. Downsizing. Very healthy, innoculated and well cared for.

I normally don't like Versace

but, as style dot com put it, they've moved beyong their "bling vulgarity" to make really simple, yet beautiful clothes. I especially liked this detail.

Gwen Stefani Loves to Taunt Me

Why does this woman (or her designers/stylists/imaginary pixies) taunt me with knits that I love, and yet cannot afford?

This one goes out to Ivy

I like how they are "trans-seasonal." A sophisticated way of saying that we have no clue anymore what the temp is supposed to be. Wasn't there a recent Wall Street Journal article about that, how designers are making seasonless clothing because furs and heavy woolens did so poorly last year?
