"It's 140 miles to Longview, I have a full tank of gas, half a wallet full of cash, it's 65*, and I'm wearing handknit wool socks."


Yup. It's go-time. (Well, once the sun is closer to coming up, it's go-time).

I wrote out a list of "yarns to look for" (I want to get some pretty dk weight for the Koolhaas hat in the Holiday Gifts version of IK, for example. And if they have either the Rowan baby yarn or a comparable nice dk weight for the Unicorn in the toy-knits book that dragonknitter sent me, I'm going to get that). I forgot to do this one year and came home with stuff that was NICE, but didn't fit in with any of the patterns I was dying to make.
