Find your own pose!

Oh, the end of the month when I get money to save. Yaye.

If I had no expenses, it would be dead easy to save for Denmark. Alas...

However, I may end up blowing most of my money on yarn. The shawl needs another ball, I'm guessing I'm going to end up knitting something for mom to wear to the wedding (as well as knitting myself a stole to wear), as well as the wedding gift itself. *sigh*

I am weak in the face of a sale.

I went into Lewiscraft, planning on only buying 1 more ball of Bernat Galaxy in Neptune, and bought three. As well, I bough six (!!!) balls of Bernat Soft Boucle in Earth Shades for the wedding present of DOOM.

Wasn't sure how much to get, so I went with six, figuring any extra I can use for wristwarmers or something. I checked the pattern, and it called for approximately 1 335 m. I bought: 1 398. We'll see how this actually goes.

Ran into _jibberish_ and dragged her to Starbucks for a drink with mom and I. It was good.

Yarn!

(Dude, I should totally make an Atlantis Stitch and Bitch icon. I love that so much.)
