I have no idea how it got to be 1:30 AM. The last time I glanced at the clock it was 11:00 PM Saturday night and I was making plans for going to bed! The story of my life!
Manteau Gari update: the back is finished, and I'm a little more than halfway on the right front. Tomorrow is the big sale at my LYS, the Superbowl Weekend Sale! I'm ready!! The store closes at 4:00 pm so I have plenty of time to get back home before the game starts. I have a list of yarn that I'd like to buy, and a few notions as well. I'm looking so forward to my little shopping excursion!
We had snow last night, somewhere between 2 to 3 inches. Very pretty outside today but I didn't venture forth, instead switching back and forth between working on the jacket and reading "Outlander. The book is nearly finished - and I don't want it to end!
Hope everyone's having a great weekend!

Heart Be Still!
When I saw the box on my doorstep yesterday afternoon I was so excited! I expected that it was The Knitter's Bible that my blogging friend, Donna, had recommended. My slight disappointment when it turned out to be another book, Abundance: A Novel of Marie Antoinette, an historical fiction, showed me just how much knitting has become a happy passion for me. Before, any history-related book would have me dancing in the street when it arrived! lol
But I knew that I didn't have too much longer to wait. I have been tracking my books like an over-eager hawk since they were ordered, the three in this post, as well as The Knitter's Bible. Delivery was imminent for the latter, and the other three weren't expected until somewhere between January 6th and the 11th, so I was THRILLED to find, not one, but TWO boxes on the doorstep this afternoon. Yes, all FOUR books!!! *faints*
Donna, just thumbing through The Knitter's Bible I can see that this is exactly what I needed, to show me the how-to for numerous stitches and the answers to so many questions! I can't thank you enough for pointing me to it, I'd give you a huge hug if I could! :D
The other three look fabulous too...and though I'd just made myself a cup of tea and settled myself in for a few uninterrupted hours of reading about Marie Antoinette, I'm now heading to my yarn stash to grab something colorful and play with some swatching!!
I love days like this! Now all I need is a ton of snow falling outside my window...
..and yes Donna, I treadmilled for a half hour this morning! Yay us! :)
