MORE FRICK

I have a love-hate relationship with Lion Brand's site.

First, I fell in love with their free Felted Beret pattern. Then I decided to sign up to get the free pattern. Then it wouldn't let me sign in because my password was 'wrong'. Remembering that Mom had troubles with their site and passwords, I got them to e-mail me my password... which was a random password, not the one I'd picked. Dammit! Why do they ask for a password when they just change it to a random one?!

In other news, I started a mug cosy for Divination, and I'll start my Herbology assignment tomorrow. Wrists are doing okay. Fruits Basket 3 is wonderful - and Hatori slammed a door in Shigure's face! Go Hatori!

I totally forgot to mention my RAK!

Yep. I got RAK-ed.

Someone was in the Teen RAK group as a guest and saw my list and PMed me, saying that they had some novelty yarn they could send. So I send the person my address, and yesterday I got the RAK! I don't have pictures yet, as I have only two USBs on my computer, but when I can, I'll take some photos, put them on my dad's computer and onto my Flickr. I might e-mail them to myself, too, so I can put the photos on Facebook. I recieved:

Three skeins of Bernat Boa in 'Cardinal'.
Three skeins of Lion Brand Fun Fur Stripes in 'Copacabana'.
Two skeins of Lion Brand Fun Fur Solid in 'Ivory'.

Okay, I'm a lazy blogger.

But really, not a lot has happened.

I went to Michael's yesterday to get some yarn (even though I'm supposed to be de-stashing) for a project I intend on starting. I won't say what, in case someone reads it and spills. Then today I went to Len's to get a button for my ruff. I got a pair of sparkly star shank buttons, which I think will go well with the blur yarn. I'm not sure what I'll do with the second button - maybe I'll make a purse.

I've also joined the Teen RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) group on Ravelry. It's already quite fun.

The destashing is going well. I used up a skein of blue acrylic for that ruff, nearly a skein of Lion Brand Imagine on my mobius wrap, and some Wool-Ease Thick & Quick. I also might use up my Knit Picks Wool of the Andes by making a felted punk tie, and I cast on for a pair of fingerless gloves, which will use up some of my black DK. I also used just over a skein of my Berella Whistler by making my hood, but I still need to make the ties, which will use more Whistler of the same colour.

Other than that, there's nothing else to report. I only got one decent shot of the yarn I just got, so I'll put up photos in another post when I get a decent shot of the darker colour. I'll also take a photo of the buttons.
