blast from the past
September 22, 2009
i received and e-mail today.
an e-mail from an old college friend.
in it were pictures of times past, a happier time, a time with more freedom.
one of them reveals my knitting beginnings (literally).
things to note in this photo:
long metal needles
green fun fur yarn
my long ‘college’ hair
the knitting lady’s glasses
the rapt expression on my face
things note not in this photo:
this was during a 2 a.m. grocery run in Meijer.
we happened into the ‘yarn aisle’ to find the knitter lady
she literally taught us to knit right then and there.
(e-wrap cast on, english style)
that’s what knitters are like.
they need to spread the word.
the yarn harlot was right.

today was shaping up to be pretty blah.
it’s been raining.
i slept too late and got behind schedule in general.
but things got better.
by a lot.
i made Yvonne’s Banana Bars for my peeps at afternoon knitting.
yvonne’s “bar” part turned out better but my frosting is better. so much better. all hail the power of fresh nutmeg.
then, since i wound some yarn and took some customers’ cash, my boss told me to add some time to my time card. i just wanted some practice since i was at the store anyway but it looks like i’ll get some unexpected money out of it.
sweet!
but the best thing happened when i got home. i found that yokoo had posted a pic on her flickr of the tote i had requested/purchased.
(the pics are by yokoo so make sure you give her props if you use them!)
i nearly wept with joy when i saw it and i can’t wait for it to come. (was that the mail man?)
everyone
every single one of you
needs to own a yokoo original
and miss. yokoo, you are one fierce bitch!
