I conquered the afghan!

I finally, (deep breath), finally finished that afghan!!

In fact, I almost made it too long and nearly passed out, from relief, when I measured and discovered that I had come to the end of my journey.

Knitting this afghan was more than me keeping my promise to my sister-in-law. It was a challenge for me. I tend to start projects with fury. I get excited, filled with ideas and then somewhere along the ride, I become bored. What could I have done differently? I could have maintained a steadier gauge, but just the fact that I completed this project means so much to me.

This is a personal milestone.

As soon as I get some fresh batteries, I’ll post pics.

Waiting for the LYS to open!!

I’m so excited *pant-pant*.

One of favorite people has decided to open a local yarn shop. The mentor of the person, who taught me to knit is opening up a store.

What will be in the store…well, can you say, “EVERY-THING!”
What will NOT be in the store is yarn-snobbery. I cannot wait until the store is open for business.
I don’t want to jinx them, so I’ll keep the name and details under wraps until the store is official.

However, I wish this knitting diva the best of luck.
