Ugh...

So, we're all sick here. The nasty, congested, snotty kind of sick. Gross. My parents and sisters just left after being here for a few days, they were house hunting in Raleigh, found a place, and finished the paperwork for Dads new job. So now they're on their way back to Boston to pack, and will FINALLY be closer to us starting next week :) I can't wait to go shopping with them in their new city. Raleigh is supposed to have several fabulous yarn shops and health food stores (Whole Foods!). I think we'll be making a trip at least once a month, if not more!

On a crochet note, I finished a poncho for Natalie, (using my Lynlee yarns!) I just have to weave in all the ends and add a flower. I started a
  • Snowboarder Skullie
  • for my little bro Daniel (age 11) who is staying with us while the parents pack up. It's my first time using a FPDC, and so far it's pretty easy. My sisters and I hit up a couple of thrift stores yesterday (even sick, I don't turn up a chance to thrift store shop!) and I managed to snag a bag of italian cotton yarn for $5- I suspect it's vintage, as you don't see yarn sold in 1 oz skeins all that often anymore :)

    Thats all for now...I'm off to take more drugs and make some nice hot tea :)
