Sweet anticipation...

I have joined the ranks of the knit-a-long cyber-knitters! I have to admit I am kind of proud of myself, I am not really a computer person. This has and still is a great learning experiance for me. Project Spectrum....I actually think I have yarn in almost all of those colors. I went out and bough some wool-ease chunky today in a purpley kind of color today. It was on clearance, so I had a hard time saying no. They are clearancing out a lot of stuff over at Hobby Lobby. Did any one else see the wool put out by Lion Brand? It doesn't feel as soft as their other yarns. I do not know if I will end up getting any or not. It is really hard to get good yarn around here, there is only one yarn stire in town and her business hours are from 10 to 5 and guess what I work? 10 to 6. There is it....no chance. She does not have any Noro as far as I have seen, and I really like the look of the hourglass sweater in last minute knitted gifts. I really do not want to substitute yarn for everything that I knit. Anyhoo, one of my friends had a bead shop here in town, and she just went out of business today, so sad. They did not seem upset about it though. Everything was 50% off by the time I got there. I should have bought more, but i knew I wanted yarn too, so I scrimped by with $21 dollars worth of beads and findings. I always want to join those secret pal things, but getting to the good yarn store is a daunting task, I would feel upset if I could not get a better yarn than what Hobby Lobby sold. I don't want to let anyone down.
As for pictures of my two darlings,(ha, ha), I think I have a couple that I can share....
