My name is Emily, and I'm a knitaholic.

Yesterday was a fun day at the shop. My partners in crime yarnselling got me a cake and a card and refused to permit me blow out a candle because they didn't want me to breathe on the cake and infect them. Aw, how sweet. It was a sale day, I ended up having 3 classes to teach instead of my original 2, I didn't get to sit down between 10a-4:30p,

i'm glad the cat approves of the sock. that's such a great picture.

and RE the workaholic thing? i do that to Rick too. "sure thing, honey, just let me finish this row."

sounds like you had a great birthday. 40" needles? holy cow -- sounds HUGE. there's a sale on self-striping yarn for socks at manor (department store) -- would offer to send you some, but (a) you can get better and cheaper stuff there and (b) swiss yarn isn't necessarily better than american yarn. in fact, i am a bit pissed off with swiss yarn right now, but that's another story (to be referred to in the future as the "saga of the baby booties").

looks like you're having a blast, though. :)

happy birthday, again. i'm glad it was a pretty good one. :)

Oooh, we just got a huge shipment of new sock yarns in the mail today. In the neighborhood of 20 colors. I got to check them in and admire all of them. Made me think of you and your eternally cold toes.

The 40" needles aren't so much big as they are long. Circulars, size 2, with a 40" cable between the needles. The better to do magic loop socks with, my dear. Bwahaha.

Do you want me to see if I can find some better cotton yarn for you?

eh, i'm okay now, i think. i might have found some yarn for the booties finally, but we'll see how that goes first. when in doubt, i found a place to buy embroidery and cross-stitch floss and i'll just go there and pick up ingredients for the baby record if all else fails...
