Drop everything!

I was at work at about 1:30 this afternoon when it suddenly occurred to me that I didn't want to be there and wanted to go yarn shopping instead. So that's what I did! I love having a job where you get to set your own hours!

Our friends' baby is not due three months from now but rather three WEEKS from now, so I've got to get hopping. They live in Oregon and we only see them once or twice a year, and gee, all of the sudden the baby's almost due. The fastest pregnancy is the one that's not yours!

So I bought the Dale book of baby patterns. What a rip (I spent more than the price advertised on most web sites - didn't realize that until just now, dammit!) What a great book of patterns! I justified it as an investment - "these patterns are timeless!" I told the clerk. Bought some Dale Baby Ull in a robin's-egg-blue kind of color (somewhat unisex - baby's gender is either unknown or secret.) And then I bought some little buttons for the cardigan that is now in progress. Way cute!

So Lochinver and the Regia sock will be ignored for the next couple of weeks.

Oh - and as I was channel surfing and knitting simultaneously this evening, I came across the Cubs game and thought "gosh, it will be fun to see the crowd go crazy when they win." Within 5 minutes, the Marlins scored 8 runs. And who's the bigger heel - the kid that caught the foul ball, or the shortstop who bobbled that easy out? I'm thinking that dream series match-up is toast.
