Beautiful yarn, you are my only friend.
There are a gazillion things to write about -- the Big Dig disaster, which seems to have most of Boston (including myself) pretty freaked out, the insane lawsuit that Angelo's now caught up in with DoggieDay (don't worry, he's suing them, not the other way around), the pile of crap that John is dumping on my mom now that the divorce is getting ugly, and, of course, the move (don't ask). But I don't feel like talking about all that. I'd rather talk about knitting.
My mother made me promise that I'd stop buying yarn, since I obviously don't have the budget to back it up. But this weekend, Angelo's awesome dad gave us a scratch ticket worth $1000. Yesterday I went downtown to cash it, and between the scary government building and the T station there is.... my favorite yarn store. ::hangs head in shame::
I only got $40 worth! Only 4% of the prize money! Honestly, it could have been much worse.
Anyways, I got 5 skeins of Cascade 220 in a gorgeous green-gold-brown heather (9338) that is absolutely perfect for that dorky sweater I mentioned before. I suppose now that I've actually knit two inches of the back side there's no use hiding it anymore. This is my version of Remus's favorite jumper in shoebox_project. Yes, I'm designing and knitting a sweater based on Harry Potter slash! Urk. I love it so far.
Well, that's it I guess. I'm really only saying all this to postpone the pain of packing a little bit longer. Consolidating two households worth of crap and moving across the country at the same time is kinda, um, fucking crazy.
