One of Those
Oooh . . . pretty pretty pretty yarn!
This skein of Balland Skein sock yarn, in the Sargasso Sea colorway just came today. It’s going, I can tell, to be one of those colorways that’s difficult to photograph but is oh, so beautiful. Teals and browns and blues and greens . . . I’ve been admiring her colors for a while now and couldn’t resist.
Good timing, too . . . not because I was in any danger of running out of sock yarn, though. Oh no! Quite the opposite, in fact. But because I got an email last night that made me feel angry, sad, hurt, shocked, surprised, upset, unloved, disappointed . . . all that fun stuff . . . (And no, I’m not going into details. It wasn’t "personal," just something that was badly handled that could have been done diplomatically, and, well, whatever. We’re trying to work it out. Moving on.) But anyway, I needed the cheering up.
Especially since it’s raining again, too.
And WKRP is going to have to wait because Mom wants to watch American Idol’s concert tonight, so I’ll be upstairs in my room tonight, which still doesn’t have a DVD player (which two months on is absolutely ridiculous). That also means I won’t be getting any knitting done tonight, either. (And, watch, she’ll see this post, feel guilty, and will come downstairs apologizing at 8:00…. Which, Mom, would be silly!)
Sigh. I guess it’s just one of those days.
At least I have pretty new yarn to fondle. And I got Chappy out for a walk at lunch when it was still sunny. That’s definitely something!

Sorry to hear about the email misunderstanding. I hope it all works out well in the end.
Sargasso Sea! I’ve been meaning to read that book….I mean, pretty colorway!
Oh, how I loved Johnny Fever back in the day.
Yea fondling yarn always helps.
Loved that show.
I liked Johhny of course, who wouldn’t? But I liked Andy too. Cutie!
Hmm, that is going around! I had an incident of my own today, but more than balanced by some personal good news, so you take it where you can get it. Pretty, pretty yarn!
Great Minds…I ordered the exact same yarn. Still (im)patiently waiting for mine to arrive. Lovely!
E-mail can be such a difficult medium for communication sometimes. Hope your hurts are resolved happily. Love that yarn!
I hope your email thingy gets straightened out :o(
You’ve got to get a new DVD player already! ;o)
Oh send some of that rain over here… we’re going to move into water shortage soon… 27 days no rain so far… and this in the season where it normally rains and rains and rains… and the heat is going up and up and up… the nights barely cool off anymore.
Cheers Eva
Love your new yarn and sure hope you get closure to your situation.
Sorry about the crappy email. Judy dyes wonderful yarns, enjoy that.
This is why I love my iPod. When something is on the TV I don’t want to watch, but we still want to sit together - I get out my iPod and listen to my current book or favorite music. We have many TV’s, but you know sometimes it’s still nice to sit together.
Oh, I’m sorry someone was insensitive. I’m glad it’s straightening itself out though.
Very pretty yarn! Yum!
Sorry about the crappy email. Email’s good when people treat it like a face-to-face conversation, not so good otherwise.
That yarn is gorgeous.
I’m glad the yarn arrived when you needed particular cheering up.
Communication among humans is a crapshoot at best. I’m sorry about the problems. No matter how hard I try to look past stuff like that, it still upsets me, too. And, you know, it sounds like you really did have a “rainy” day all the way around. Hope today is much much brighter.
Sometimes we just need a good yarn and a warm dog to make our days seem oh so much better. Glad you had both!
Very pretty yarn.
Sorry about the crappy email. I hope it is worked out quickly.
That’s a stunning colorway! It has just the right amount of light blue in it. Sigh!
Sorry to hear about the mis-communication. That happens. I still deeply regret one from my freshman year at college, and that was a LONG time ago.
Oh this color yarn is beautifull, cute! Sorry for your mail which breaks your moral; tomorrow will be another new day… and you will spend a good day. Friendship, Célia
New yarn, a good book, cup of tea (or a martini!), nice fuzzy warm dog. That will definitely help. I’ve never asked, can you knit and read at the same time? I know some can, I’ve never been able to concentrate on both at once.
Lovely colorway! And I can definitely see that would make a fantastic pick-me-up :o)
OOOOh I love that sock yarn! You’ll have to let me know how it knits up. On #1s or #0s or #2s, I wonder.
