Confessions

Two confessions: the first has to do with the stash bust a long. I was working away at my sweaters, somewhat, but recently switched gears to get some projects started for my trip to India (that's three weeks of traveling = many yarn projects). The lace scarf mentioned earlier, half way through a sock already (got carried away), and realized I needed more. While keeping that in mind, yesterday, I had a project meeting in Northampton. If you are in the yarn world, that name means only one thing - Webs. A great yarn store, but with the added bonus of the warehouse in the back with super discounted yarns. It's hard to walk out empty handed. I've never been able to and this time was no exception. I ended up only getting cotton yarn (don't know if that counts as not buying yarn, as I mainly only have wool yarn - so it's not that I was adding to my stash, but starting a new division in my stash - a whole new department). My downfall was that I picked up a book that I bought with tons of great patterns. It's Jaeger Book 34 and I'm starting this pattern - using Jaeger Roma yarn (on sale!) It's for the trip, so hopefully it will travel well.



Second confession is that I think I found a guy! I had a great time on my second date with Chris. We went to the MFA and than a great dinner at the Squealing Pig - great pub and wonderful mussels. I can't get over how much we overlap - on everything. I'm starting to think he's my doppelganger (just read the wikipedia definition and realize I didn't know what the word meant - I mean he's similar but not in the evil way). This week I've been trying to figure out a way to get together one last time before I leave, but it's been too busy. So, will have to see where things stand when I get back. I'm just happy to know there are people out there still - was starting to think all the good ones were taken!
