Here is a peak in the bag of yarn my sister sent.  I didn't try to arrange it, I just shook the bag and stuck the camera in.  The big balls are acrylic that are for the projects my sister wants.  The smaller balls were a birthday present.  My sister is not a knitter so she just guessed at what I would like/want.  They weren't bad choices just not something I could make a big project form.  I decided to use it for my charity knitting that is why I had to go to the yarn store and get new needles.  I got some dpns for a baby bootie pattern I found that is supposed to be good.  I was going to buy the bamboo needles but I have broken two sets of size 4 and one each of 5 and 6 so size 2 dpns might not be a good idea.  I decided on the Karbonz (by Knitter's Pride in the US) and I think paying more but not having them break is a good idea.  Working with dpns is interesting.  I don't mind knitting but purling is not fun.  I may get a better technique at some point but for now it's a bit fiddly. I also decided to work on the hats because the monster along goes for a long time so I can catch it later.  

After all the running around yesterday I didn't have a lot of time to listen to or watch much of anything.  I did watch a few podcasts but I didn't get caught up on all of them.  I'll try to finish them up today.  I did finally get A Homespun House to work so I had two of those to catch up on.   Nothing new on that front.

I ran around yesterday and today and will a little tomorrow so I am really tired.  I think I may actually be getting to that point where I need the kids to go back to school so I can have some time to myself.  I didn't think I'd ever be like that.  I grew up in a large noisy family so I enjoyed the energy and the life of having people around.  The first month that both kids went to school felt so weird.  The house felt so quiet and spooky.  I guess I've grown used to it.  I think that is all I have to say today.  I'm not feeling terribly creative.  I'll see you next time.
