I couldn't resist!

First things first...I bought more yarn. Sigh. I started the Lady Eleanor Stole from Scarf Style with some stash yarn, and it looks cute, I think:

but when I went to look for more online (I bought this at Stitches Midwest two years ago), it's not being made anymore :(

I figure I can eke out a scarf with it, but I still REALLY want to make a Lady Eleanor, so I perused Ravelry to see what others had knit her out of, and found some Karaoke yarn on sale at Jimmy Beans Wool (40% off in colorway Bloom). I was going to get some Patons SWS Wool, but Ravelers said really bad things about this yarn, and Noro is too expensive for me right now...

I finished the fair isle socks. Notice I didn't say MY fair isle socks...they're too small for me, but a fun knit, and I have plenty of yarn left over for another pair so I just need to find these a good home!



I visited my Grandma this past Sunday, and gifted her my Creatures of the Reef shawl. She cried.

I had to search high and low, but bought a copy of this book on Sunday. It has the CUTEST cupcake designs in it, and most of them are pretty easy to boot.

And since I got the book, I also got a kick-a$$ cupcake tote (from Amazon.com).

And a new printer.

I think I need to cut up my credit cards!

P.S. My midterm grade in Nutrition? An A! Plus I finished my math class yesterday, and I got a B!

I personally love Patons SWS, but only for felting purposes, I think, as it doesn't hold up well for everyday use.

What fair isle sock pattern is that? It's so pretty! I've never before been tempted to knit anything with strand work, but I'd love to try knitting those! Can you tell me where you found the pattern?
