Hello from Illinois!

We are visiting my in-laws and we went to St. Louis yesterday. We went to Knitorious, in St. Louis, MO. and I was in heaven. I got this :)



22 balls of Rowan Yorkshire Tweed 4-ply for this:



It is a tiny, tiny knit. I'm knitting it on 1's. Ow. But the shop experience was awesome. I have to drive 2 hours to get to a yarn store, and it's not a very good one. It's nice to have someone to talk to and all. It was great. But I guess I can show a boo boo, too.



This is supposed to be the Somewhat Cowl from Wendy Bernard. Can ya tell I have never knit a sweater from the top down? LOL. If anybody has any tips on how to
knit a top down sweater, please do share!

For a brief time, that is. My hubby bought a lap top to treat our I-can't-do-without-a-computer disease. We're leaving tomorrow to see his family in Illinois. I have already looked up yarn stores and there's 10...swoon. That's a lot for a gir who would have to drive 2 or more hours to get to a yarn store. They live close to St. Louis, Illinois, so we're going to Missouri as well to look. I sent so much yarn over to England and I'm already accumalating a stash here. I just ordered yarn for Wendy Bernard's Somewhat Cowl and that's going swimmingly. I'm taking it up north with me as well. This week will be the longest I leave my girl at home, she's staying with my mom so she doesn't miss school. Her fifth birthday is in 2 months. Holy cow. The man of the house has said he wants to start trying for another, and well, I'm over the moon excited. I've been wanting another kiddo for a while, but knew it'd be better to wait. He said that he hears the first year of marriage is the worse, but it it's like it has been then great :) But for now I hope everybody is doing good.
