I was unbelievably excited to receive the email letting me know she had been re-released. And it seems that she's not a limited release this time either or at least there's nothing to indicate a limited release.
Pattern ordered: check
Yarn ordered: check (black or navy or I have white but continue to fantasize about white's sister, bordeaux
Tape ordered: check
Update: Needles (circs and dpns) ordered: check
- Does anyone have experience with HiyaHiya needles? I remember hearing good things about them...I think. The joins need to be Addi quality. I will be greatly amused if my packages from England arrive before my US package.
I think I have the needles. Um. Probably. 000 and 0 (1.5 and 2.0mm) Addi Turbo for swatching because sadly, Knitpicks doesn't make needles in this range. {Does Addi seriously not make a 1.75mm needle??? What's up with that? They have double points but I'm not finding circs. Egads!} I will need double points in the appropriate size when I get to the border but that won't be for quite a long time. Swatching will be in order when yarn arrives; I'll probably use Wedding Ring Shawl to figure out needle size/yarn combo.
I know the black or navy might cause blindness and I'm willing to accept that for the sake of my art. Or perhaps I won't be and I'll knit in another color.
Also, Typepad is being flaky about sending me comment email so I apologize for not responding if I don't get your email. Though, I'll admit to being sadly lax about comment replying.
Dudette, I tagged you for a meme thing on my knitting blog. You can write about knitting. This might encourage a post. Say, what ARE you knitting these days, LOL?

I bit the bullet and ordered my pattern last night. Maybe I should have waited, but I didn't want to take the risk of it being sold out. I am very excited!!! Don't know when I'll start it or what yarn I'll use. I love the idea of doing it in black. I'll be anxiously watching your progress until I can start mine.

I was so excited to see you posted!!! I always assume you are fine but just otherwise occupied as I myself so often am but I sure miss reading your blog. Hope you are truly well and we out here in blogland get to hear more soon.

This will keep you busy. I finally uploaded my WIP Heirloom Knitting Rosebud Shawl to Ravelry. Maybe that will inspire me to keep it going.
