there is a light at the end of this tunnel. while my brain is fried from work, in 5 days, i will be sprinting to the airport, downing a G&T and then boarding a plane to Portland, OR.
i will be taking this:
1/2 of the Gatsby Dress
1/2 of a Gatsby Dress
it’s totally done, but i will need to wait for a friend willing to photograph me, b/c you cannot fully appreciate this dress while its laying on a messy bed.
i will also be taking my homework (which is already on its way to Portland, sans photo. oops). as well as quite a large number of sock DPNs. I actually sent a bunch of stuff ahead in an effort to not have problems at the airport. I really don’t want to have to explain all of those metal needles to the TSA at a New York City airport.
as for what i come back with, i’m terrified. i’m actually packing 2 extra bags that can be checked on the way back if the yarn purchasing gets out of hand (as i fully expect it to). Glenna and i have very little self control when it comes to yarn. the fumes, well, they cause temporary (or not so temporary) loss of control. i’m rationalizing it by saying that a lot of the yarns i see there are going to be one-of-a-kind, never to be seen again, etc etc.
but i fully expect to be semi-bankrupt when i get back. 🙂 sounds like the perfect vacation to me!!!
i realized that i have all my “must-do” knitting for SS09 done, and now i can get back to my regularly scheduled knitting.
what’s next on the needles? yeah, socks.
and i will probably be updating more since i found the lovely little app for my iPhone 🙂
