The yarn for my sleeveless top came in today! "Cotton Lux", and the pattern is from Sirdar. My Great American Aran Afghan and cross stitch kit have still not come in, though. I ordered yarn for my mom’s sweater today. The pattern is a cabled cardi from Sirdar (ahhh- they’re taking over my pattern stash- my short-sleeved turtleneck is also a Sirdar pattern!) but, being the poor teenager that I am, I bought Plymouth Encore DK from Smiley’s for $1.50 a skein instead of spending $7 a ball for the Donegal Tweed DK they recommended. Smiley’s has a min. order amount of $30 which I didn’t know about, so I *had* to order something for myself instead of spending a dollar more per skein somewhere else. I got 6 skeins of Homespun to make a turtleneck cabled sweater (free pattern from Lion Brand) for me! Too many WIPs! Nah, you can never have too many projects going at once. :P I haven’t ordered the pattern yet, though. A thorough search of every internet yarn store is in order to find the place where I can get it the cheapest. Hehe, I’m awful at spending my money. Even when I was little I would hoard my money and refuse to spend any of it unless I had to. (Maybe that’s why I have such a measly CD collection- the radio is my friend!) Anyway, I’ve got to go design a utopia- we had time to work in class but the first day I had a migraine (the nurse isn’t allowed to give out Motrin) and the second day I just talked the whole time. Ah, well. Best get to work.

OO- I think we’re going to see Return of the King! (and maybe eat at the Vietanamese Noodle place!)
