Sushi for dinner last night. A big breakfast at Cracker Barrel this morning. Cody and I are nothing if not diverse eaters. I love the weird country store (or as Cody and I call it, Cracker Mart) at the cracker barrel. We got some candy for a friend’s little boy and a cat-shaped peanut butter biscuit for Winter. Oh ok I got a teddy bear too shut up.

There was snow this morning. Not enough to really affect anything other than produce some sparkly wonder in our minds. It didn’t really stick to the roads either. It’s still very windy and the snow blowing around on the fields by the bosque looks like there’s a white misty fog. But it’s just fine bits of snow in the wind.

Yarn store yesterday. Scout completely surprised me with a freakin sweater in my size. Some crazy person knit the Simply Marilyn sweater and decided it was too big so they were going to give it away. Scouty said “I’ll take it! I have a friend that would love it!” And it was mailed to Albuquerque. How sweet is that? Scout is too good to my slow webpage fixin slackass. Remind me to give them both handspun yarn. Now I have a pretty sweater to wear. And it’s sort of pink so it even fits into Project Spectrum!

I’m still doing well with the yarn diet. I did get to do some vicarious yarn shopping by helping Adam pick out some yarn for fuzzyfeet. He went with the donnegal tweed which I think felted the best out of all the yarns I’ve used. And somehow I managed to still spend too much on patterns and books at the store yesterday. Bought a set of bamboo crochet hooks to go with my new copy of The Happy Hooker that came in the mail on Friday. I am hellbent on figuring out this crochet thing. People say it’s easier than knitting but I’m just not getting it. I can’t wait for the Big Girl Knits book. I’m hoping there will be a good pattern for my neapolitan handspun.

I’m afraid that I will have to delay Stash Sunday photos. The outside table I usually use is wet and sludgy and the winds are strong enough to blow my precious Noro all over the place. And the lighting inside the house is just awful I won’t do that kind of injustice to the yarn. Yes. I plan to take photos of the Noro stash. It’s a shameful amount of yarn.

Cody is taking a nap. It goes without saying that all the animals are too. We’ve already been to the grocery store, stopped by the coffee shop, and even picked up a refill of some of my meds at the drug store. I’m going to watch tv and see if I can use this weirdo icord maker I picked up at the yarn store yesterday.

I hope you all are enjoying the women in history posts. I don’t usually get a lot of feedback on them until months later when someone does a search and finds my page. But I’m happy to get the stories out there. I like to think it helps preserve their memory in a way. I really enjoyed writing about Vera Hall today. Some of her songs can be bought on itunes. She never really expressed an opinion of all the recordings the Lomax’s did of her voice. Can you imagine what she’d think of being able to buy digital music in an instant like that?
