Mission Falls Yarn is here!
Much like Burnt-Orange I am disapointed by how any photos of this yarn online just arn't true. Worse, the contrast between two colors online is different from the same two in person. Which makes picking out colors for a 2 color stripey tank hard!
Still they are really beutiful colors and despite the fact that I have a teal/navy blue and a very light aqua-green-foggy color, I have to say I love them both. I just sat in bed for like 2 hours working on my baby sweater. I am still kind of slow as I try to count rows and figure out where I am in the 14 step pattern. I am only about 6 rows away from doing something new, putting some stuff on a stich holder and working a portion of the stiches.
I did all this while with this hurt hand of mine! It is very difficult to wash your hair with one hand, but I managed.
It's hard to select which project I want to work on.. the sock (which now seems to go much slower), the boys sweater (which I am anxious to get through this one back peice and finish my first "piece") and the Vera tank which I am VERY anxious to start because now I have confidence from the baby sweater.
Yay! But right as this yarn arives I am *forced*, yes I said *forced* to take a bath and get ready to go to dinner and see Mr. Potter again. Who is forcing me? Well.. me!
I'll post a picture of the yarn tommorow. Oh and maybe pictures of the inside of my house FRESHLY painted! Yesterday when Jesse came home from work I was all bubbly wanting to show him the rooms. I was damn near giddy. He just smiled and walked away like I was a kid with to much candy. When I came home from school today HE was the giddy one. Haven gotten some sleep and woken up to go get coffee, even his weary eyes popped and googled at how NEW our house looks! So I was very pleased to see him feeling the same way. Makes it feel like its truly worth it.
