disaster averted.

so, i'm one ball in on each of the sleeves for rogue and i realized, that 3 balls per sleeve really wasn't gonna cut it. no friggin way so i'm at my favorite lys knitting (cause why sit home and knit when you can spend the day sitting at a sotre you don't work at helping customers ;) , and sue, angel that she is decides to call around to stores and see if anybody has the yarn. (mind you she works at the store i'm in, they don't carry mission falls though) isn't that sweet? and guess what she finds the same color the same dyelot at another not so favorite lys. and you wanna know the real kicker. they were nice! who knew it was even possible. but i have 3 more balls to finish my sleeves which should be plenty. oh, also a spare ball in a different dyelot that they insisted i take which i won't use but it will give me incentive to go back to get the new colorway i saw of sockotta there. i'm sure its not really new but i never saw it before and i have to say that its my most favorite sock yarn ever!


its that tealy colorered ne right there in the middle. nifty huh? so why not get it right? i think i will when i am done with rogue i'll just take the leftover ball/balls and exchange 'em :) i also want that rainbow one up in the corner there but i haven't seen it anywhere in person yet...

oh, so my socks are done the ones i was working on while i was in texas, did i say that already? sorry if i did. but i don't know where they are and my computer is on life support right now so i'll wait to post photos til later, but they're comfy and they might gove me cankles thanks cyn for making me think of this in the back of my head as soon as i tried 'em on. but i don't care i'll just wear 'em with boots :P

Wow! Phew to you for getting more yarn! I *sooo* need to finish Rogue. Maybe I'll make it a January (or February rather) goal.

Whew! What a big sigh of relief. That's great that Shuttles had the right dyelot after you purchased it in Canada! So crazy! At least you have enough now.

yup. thats right i've sent off my swap package for hogwarts sock swap ...unfortunately via muggle post. sigh. have i ever told you how much i hate the post office? apparently the box i was recycling from starbucks wasn't good enough and i had to repack the goodies at the post office into a priortiy box at wich point they couldn't find me any tape so they made me use the priority mail tape but i couldn't tape up the box the guy did it for me so he went around the box 3 different ways. he taped my scribbled address onto the box from my notes sheet. wouldn't le tme go get alabe or anything and half the address got covered by priority mail tape but its fine...what? anyhoo. i hoep it gets where it is supposed to go. i'll be blogstalking to make sure it does :) what was in said oddly taped package you say? well... socks of course. bertie botts. plus regular and sour flavored beans. some dark chocolate for the witch or wizard with more evil tastes. cow tal...
