Two big YIPPEEs today.
Yippee #1: The Boys have extra Kersti for Cromarty. Different dye lot, but I SO don’t care. And thanks for all the comments — for a minute there I was feeling like the Wicked Sinning Knitter (forgive me, Father, I’m off in my yardage again). It’s a good lesson. For Starmore, buy eighty-seven skeins too many, and you’ll be all right.
Yippee #2: Greta’s here again for a couple of days! We’re going to play all day. It’s crazy when we’re together. We could sit and just talk. All day. Not exaggerating here. My friends have always thought of me as not a glass-half-full person, but the-glass-is-overflowing-all-over-the-table person. And Greta’s the same way. Wonderful, lovely, beautiful things will happen today, just because we know they will. If it rains, we’ll take shelter in a yarn shop somewhere and drink tea. And she and daughter-bird are the first two to stay with me in my new home. Two more perfect guests I could not imagine.
** She just said, “I love Hermann Hesse. He cracks me up. Especially when you read the German.”
She’s so fabulous.
Oh that was a close one, Cro is a gorgeous sweater! What an odd thing to be off that much in the yardage! Are they notorious for such shenanigans?
Huge YIPEEs, indeed. Have fun, dearies! (Like *that* needed to be said!!)
It is KILLING me not to be there with y’all! But have fun anyway~ Mwah!
Yipee on having the yarn! What a relief! Hope you, Greta and daughter bird have a lovely day.
Can you and Greta give each other a squeeze from me? Just thinkin’ about her mama and how hectic things have been for her. And how exciting things have been for you with the move and everything.
Have so much fun together! And I’m glad things are working out with the yardage. Or the purchasing of more as the case may be.
Cromarty is gorgeous!
Glad to hear that you are having another good visit with Greta. Hugs to both of you!
Cromarty is smashing and I’m glad you found the yarn. I was 3 skeins short with Na Craga (and I was using the called-for yarn).
I can’t believe you need EIGHT more skeins than you’d originally thought! I’m sure the colour difference won’t be noticeable, if there is one.
Have lots of fun with Greta! I have a feeling it would be hard not to. 🙂
