07.01.2005 :: SALE. ON. YARN.
Well, Friday again. Is it just me or are the weeks flying? I just turned the calendar page to June and today I turn it again to July. My mother always said that time passed more quickly the older you get. I guess she was right.
Madli's Shawl:
Norma has a point. I did not show you what it looks like, for the madli uninitiated. Check this page, scrolling down until you find MADLI'S SHAWL. And then of course, check google for others fabulous takes on Madli. (every time I google Madli's shawl, google asks me "DO you mean to search for MADLIBS shawl?"
Yes, google, that is EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT TO SEARCH FOR.
Google is being ___________________. (adjective)
I planned to put in the snitched (and saved to my own server) picture of it but alas, it cannot be done.
And. Because you asked nicely
Or at least one of you did. Here's the yarn I plan to use for the creatures of the reef shawl. IF the pattern ever gets here.
IF.
Zephyr handpainted from Furryarns. colorway waterfall. And a wonderful little cube of wonderful smelling handmade soap. Made the yarn smell SCRUMPTIOUS. And by "scrumptious" I mean a clean, wonderful, lavendery smell.
Please, even if you have never ever listened to one thing I have ever said, ever, get yourself over to Furryarns and buy something. Anything. I mean there is a SALE going on. A SALE ON YARN for gosh sake.
Do it.
(I in no way gain anything from you buying yarn from that site. Just personal satisfaction that I have helped along a fellow woman trying to make a living and the satisfaction of sharing something yarn with my girlfriends and/or knitting boyfriends)
Hmm
I used to think that Tom Cruise was so handsome and seemed like such a nice guy. Now I look at him and all I can think of is "arrogant, bastard shooting off his mouth about things he knows nothing about." Ick. Tom. you are dead to me.
Away with you!
We are going to the lake for the long weekend. See you Monday or Tuesday. Here's wishing you Freedom to Knit your fingers off.

Wow, San---I thought about you when I thought to myself what a jerk Tom has become, cuz I knew that you had thought he was really terrific. I think maybe he's gone off the medication.....
That yarn is SO gorgeous. Can't wait to see the shawl!!!
Love you---happy 4th, baby! xxoo

Yeah, for sure. Tom Cruise is a totally self-absorbed nitwit. Nicole is SO much better off now. :-)

Man, you are KILLING ME. BOGO? ZEPHYR? HAND PAINTED?
My partner is going to divorce me. My life will be in ruins. And I will blame you.
Off to order yarn.
ACK! (Oh yeah, and thanks for the tip!)

Lovely yarn - I will get myself over there post-haste before everyone else buys them out! As for TC, he's an ass and his sister is an ass for letting him shoot his mouth off and ruining all the hard work his former publicist did to make him appear to be the nice guy we all thought he was.

I think those are my two favorite words: "yarn sale". Just brings a smile to my face. I used to love madlibs. Have a great long weekend :)

Duh, I just reread, sorry for asking stupid questions. I'm still reeling from the SALE!

BTW-yours is gorgeous, is that the Waterfall colorway?
Posted by: Teresa C on 07.01.2005 AT 09:56 AM
OMG! I am giddy, absolutley giddy with the prospect of BOGO at furryarns! I mean! You could do a nice sized shawl in solid Zephyr for under $10! A handpainted one for under $15! I'm hyperventilating over here! What should I get? Should I try a new color? Should I order everything!? Wait, I think I will just lay my head down for a little rest. I'll let you know how it goes.
Have a wonderful weekend! With any luck you will come back to blogs as they were. Say prayers for Typepad.

You have NO IDEA how much I laughed OUT LOUD. I scared the lawn guys working next door with my witch's screeches. They turned off their machines. They must have been thinking someone was surely being killed in here. "Tom, you are dead to me."

You're doing Creatures too? I'm waiting for my pattern and yarn to arrive from over your side. It's showing on my statement, so I know it's somewhere mid Atlantic!
Posted by: Tracy on 07.01.2005 AT 09:03 AM
Dead to me too. The list of celebrities I won't support anymore just keeps getting longer and longer. Oh well - more yarn money for me!
Your yarn is beautiful - heading over to the sale right now. Thanks for the link.

Hi, Sandy! This is the first time I've visited your blog, but I must stop and comment! I LOVE YOUR LAYOUT AND COLORS! Your blog looks so ... smooth and calm. Peaceful. Very pleasing to the eyes. Great job!
And I love that yarn. I'm going to have to check out Furryarns now!
