More Blue
So, last night I finished plying the leftover blue singles. That’s a fair amount of extra, pure-blue yarn, wouldn’t you say? I don’t know what I’ll do with it yet, but it’s definitely going to grow up to be an accent of some kind to that cardigan.
And, do you see how evenly my blue roving was divided?
I only have this much left on my woolee winder bobbin–you can see the leader yarn though the spaces. Even if the merino and corriedale singles didn’t end up having the same number of yards, at least I worked it out nice and evenly anyway. (And, really, I would rather have had extra of the blue than extra of the navy.)
Now all I have to do is wind both of these off onto the yarn skeiner. It’s so satisfying, having all the yarn for this sweater done! (Well, okay, still the skeining, washing, drying, but that part’s easy.)
Oh! And, finally, I have an answer to what that big hole in the shopping center downtown is for. I found the website of the leasing company and found this.
The layout and designer art for what it’s going to look like. That big hole? It’s a drive-through window. Just what every shopping center needs in the middle, right? I find it interesting that there’s going to be a parking lot in the back, too, although that opens onto a one-way road, so it wouldn’t exactly be amenable to people trying to find parking spaces if it’s particularly busy! Anyway, I’m glad to know what that will be–it’s been bugging me. And, just what we need … another Walgreens. They just built a brand-new one not two miles down the road….
Hey, would you believe, I went to the bookstore with Mom after work–she desperately wanted this book, Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon–And the Journey of a Generation, and they just got it in today, so I drove her over when I got off work. That’s not the unbelievable part. The unbelievable part is that I went to a bookstore and didn’t buy anything. (Cough) Maybe I’m getting sick?

Quick, run ot the emrgency dept. You didn’t buy a book! Tee hee.
As for the Walgreens’ I want to know where thesees big companies that are putting up pharmacies like there is no tomorrow are finding pharmacists to staff them? There is and has been for years, a shortqage of pharmacists. theses expansion stores are just making it worse. Although it does mean I can command big bucks, show up and sit on my diff for the day and they don’t care….

Hmmm… I’d be interested to hear what your mom thinks of the book. Might make a nice Mother’s Day present…
I didn’t realize you had started your sweater before your spinning was even finished. I guess you were desperate to get going on a project! (I would never trust myself to finish…)
We are lucky (or at least I consider us lucky) not to have any malls within 40 miles of us. Although we do have four pharmacies for a town of 8,500. Interesting.

Mmmmmm…. bluuuuue!
NO!!!! Not another f-ing WalGreens! Not only is there a brand new one 2 miles down the road, there’s a second brand new one, 3 miles beyond that!! You can be sure I won’t be shopping there. What a waste of space. I am sickened. The rumor of a Trader Joes was too good to be true!
Lovely blue yarn cheers me up though.

Wow. Great job spinning. I always end up with an uneven amount and never know what to do with the odd bit after the rest has been plied.

I love your flutter sleeve (still thinking about knitting one myself) and your blue handspun. Gorgeous!
I can’t believe you left without even one book…not even a magazine…I feel woozy just contemplating it. ;o)
