week is done

 I have one more exam to grade (maybe tomorrow; there are only a few of them and one person was out sick and will have to make it up Monday). But I'm free for a little bit.

It was a busy week; pretty much the only knitting I did was while invigilating exams:

 This is the Moon Moth sweater; the knit-plain part is a bit more than half done. Once I get to the colorwork part I will probably have to start something else easily portable, because I suspect the colorwork requires too much concentration for something like invigiliating.

 

I decided after my last class (ends at noon), I wanted to get down to Sherman. I debated going tomorrow but tomorrow is Zoom knitting and I didn't want to feel too rushed in getting back.

My original plan was just to stop in at Joann's (near the Target) and go to Target, because that was what I really needed (there are a couple things I use regularly that only the Target around here carries). 

But driving down, traffic was kind of unpleasant, and I thought "You could pull off at the first exit in Denison instead of continuing to where I would pull off at the shopping center"

And of course, that's right close to the yarn shop.

I didn't NEED yarn, but.

I also NEEDED lunch. I had originally thought of going to somewhere near Target, but then I remembered there was a place (a brewpub sort of place) in the same building as the yarn shop, so I went there.

I got a root beer. (Driving, of course) and a grilled cheese and salad. They weren't busy so I felt less bad about being a "low dollar" order. The food was pretty good:

And after that, the yarn shop. My original thought was to get a skein of a yarn I'd considered earlier, and then not bought

and then I saw the grey yarn. It's from sheep raised in the Falklands, which is geographically interesting to me, and also they boast on the label that it's humane and ecologically raised.

The multicolored one is the one I had considered buying a trip or two but didn't; it's a Dream in Color yarn in Mardi Gras colors. It will probably become socks. The two Falkland Chunky skeins will become a hat with wide horizontal stripes.

I didn't really buy anything at JoAnn's; it was partly just a trip there. 

And I got my groceries and stuff and the things I particularly needed, and then back home. 

(It's still too warm here)
