First, I must thank my Summer Fling! SP, Golden121, for sending me all of this:
Two Rowan tank patterns (already searching for stash yarn to make at least one right now), so much delicious chocolate, chocolate biscotti and CHOCOLATE COFFEE!! The most beautiful stitch markers and flip flop charms. A stunning Indian silk journal (which I had contemplated buying a similar one months and months back but thought no, it's too nice for me.) Fun catnip toys for the kitties! A great CD of French songs, postage stamps with gorgeous black and white stationary cards that are so oui! oui! Love the Kermie pin and the handwritten note. I love it all. Best of all, is a row counter on a key with bright green jingle bells attached to it! So I can't possibly lose my row counter any more.
Oops! Just realized the delicious CHOCOLATE COFFEE is missing from the pic. Oh that's right, it's in my cup! And kitty crack pillows are also missing because they are currently in use:
Thank you so much, Golden 121!!

In other news, I haven't been blogging much lately, in case you hadn't noticed. It's been unbelievably hot and my office, well... I closed all the vents to save energy and the result of that is an office that's too hot to sit and blog in.
But it's actually cooler this morning so I'm able to sit here and post a bunch of pics for you all.
Like this:
The top of the pic is a mill end hank of Cherry Tree Hill Supersock... 1100+ yards of it! The Lorna's Laces hank is just for scale. I think I hear Clapotis calling. One of my favorite ebay stores pushes sells the mill ends.
Also, I'm currently knitting up a Sizzle in black Debbie Bliss Cotton Cashmere. I've done my first ever modifications to a project and I'm really excited about how this will turn out. No pics yet. I'm hoping to wear it to ArtHop Thursday.
I have new glasses! It's been about 3 1/2 years since I bought new glasses and I finally found a pair that fit me:
Not the best pic and it's hard to see past my Big Shiny Forehead (good grief!). They're a dark tortoise with somewhat clear rose detailing. I just really like the shape. I feel better now.
Awesome SP! I really like the journal. Thanks for the eBay link, I will have to check out that seller.
Cute new glasses, too! =)

LOVE the glasses! How are you liking that yarn for Sizzle? Have the pattern, but hadn't decided on yarn yet!!

Great glasses. I cannot wear that style because I need *cough* bifocals *cough*. Age. She's a biotch.
Hope the heat breaks.

Glad to hear there's been a slight break in the heat wave. And thanks so much for the pusher's URL. That price and yardage is amazing.
Dig the glasses muchly.
