I don't have much to show for the first day of the workweek. I spent the majority of the morning shopping online and finally made my purchases. I have spent hours trying to find equivalent yarn in color, weight and fiber content to the Spud and Chloe sweater yarn called for in the Seeing Stars Blanket. I called Knit Picks this morning to ask them how soon they restock when they are out of a color. She said there's no way of knowing....that was it.....end of conversation! That was not what I was expecting. I had looked at 2 other comparable yarns but I couldn't seem to get all the colors in one brand. So, after that brief call I decided to order the ones I could in the Brava Worsted and look elsewhere for the other colors. I found the rest of the colors in Stylecraft Special Aran at Deramores. It will come from England but from ordering from Knit Picks in the past they weren't any faster. At least it's ordered now. It was bothering me all weekend. I also got some books ordered which I had been hemming and hawing over. I wrapped that all up about 1:00 p.m.! Shopping takes me forever!
I took my walk and crocheted my heart for the day. I also did 8 rows on the Feather and Fan washcloth. It is garbage day tomorrow so I emptied all of them and got the garbage out to the street for tomorrow's pickup.
The tree is starting to get filled up with hearts! Now I have to get some valentines out. I'll be cleaning the rest of the bedroom this week and whenever I finish that I will be starting in the hallway.
Sorry, there isn't much to show for today.....but when my treasures start arriving I will!
I hope you're having a good start to the week!

Happy Trails!!!
LOL! Well, at least they were honest about where they installed it! Too funny. I think I used to visit your blog years back, sounds and looks so familiar around here. Found you via Betsy's blog (Simple Life of a Queen) and came right over. Yep, think I've been here before. Your little hearts are so cute, and what an adorable way to show them off - on the tree! Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteI visited you back and it looks like we have a lot in common. Also, not too long ago they told me I was going blind and I could barely see. They said they could stop the damage but could not restore my eyesight. I had the operation and when I awoke I could see better than ever! Even the doctor said it was a miracle and he had never seen it happen before. I am blessed for sure and you are too!
DeleteYour Valentine tree looking so cute. Will you switch to shamrocks next month? So sorry to hear knit picks was not more helpful. I am very glad you got all the yarn ordered for the afghan though.
ReplyDeleteOh! St. Patrick's Day....for sure! Thanks for the reminder! LOL! Yes, the yarn...so glad I got that taken care of finally!
DeleteI take a long time when I shop online too! I get so absorbed in looking:) Your tree is filling up!
ReplyDeleteI guess the good part is we don't waste any gas shopping online. LOL!
DeleteAh Knit Picks. It's a love/hate relationship I have with them. I adore their yarns. And the price is very good for the quality. But the shipping. It takes at least two weeks, no exageration to get it from them to me. And we're both in the USA. I don't understand it. Shipping isn't free either and yet it takes so long. I ordered two skeins several weeks ago and it took 17 days to get it. They sent me me a survey on how I liked Knit Picks and I wrote to them what I just said to you.
ReplyDeleteOn Saturday I ordered a sweaters quantity of worsted, I think it was Wool of the Andes. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to get here. I haven't received any shipping information yet.
Those quilt puzzles are so cute. I wish I had more patience for puzzles, but then, with all of my knitting, crochet and cross-stitch, who has time for puzzles? :-)
I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday.
Blessings,
Betsy
I ordered from Knit Picks and Deramores on the same day and I bet you that Deramores will be here before Knit Picks! LOL! We shall see! I hope they send me a survey....their customer service yesterday was almost rude!
DeleteYesterday was so dreary out here too. Thank goodness I have stuff to clean and bake. I'm making my husband a memory book for Valentine's day. Not sure what I'll do for our daughter just yet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice idea for Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteSuch awful weather over here and very,very cold. That was a good idea substituting the ridiculously expensive Spud and Chloe yarn with the Stylecraft which is lovely to work with and such a great choice of colours, with a lovely thickness. Lovely little Valentine's Tree.
ReplyDeleteI have used Stylecraft for years but always the DK. I'm excited to see their worsted. Yes,they have the greatest array of colors!

I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com

I NEED MY EX BACK DESPERATELY EMAIL DR. SAM FOR URGENT AND FAST HELP: SUPREMESPELLCAST@YAHOO.COM
ReplyDeleteMy name is Shally Mills, I live in UK. My life is back!!! After 2 years of Broken marriage, my husband left me with two kids, I felt like ending it all. I came across several testimonies about this particular spell caster. Some people testified that he brought their Ex lover back, some testified that he restores womb,cure cancer,and other sickness, some testified that he can cast a spell to stop divorce and also How to win lottery so on. It was very amazing, i also come across one particular testimony, it was about a woman called Lisa, she testified about how he brought back her Ex lover in less than 2 days, and at the end of her testimony she dropped his email. After reading all these, I decided to give it a try. In just 48hours, my husband came back to me. We resolved our issues, and we are even happier than ever. Dr.Sam you are a gifted man and I will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man. If you have a problem and you are looking for a real and genuine spell caster, Try him anytime, he is the answer to your problems.
