It's been awhile since the last time I write here.
The reason being?
I AM ADDICTED TO PACKRAT.

It's a game on FaceBook. I been playing everyday, once I find out I don't have to have the same 5 cards to archive. I been playing it non-stop and I'm pretty good at it. Currently, I'm on level 80. Right now, I have no choice, but to take a break from the game. Facebook is doing alot of changes to the site, so sometimes I can't even log in. Then again, I pretty much finished with all the current collections. The 2 new collections, don't even have the cards completed yet. Oh well, I just have to be patient & wait.

I also have a new favorite yarn shop. It's Art Fibers. Couple us knitters went there last weekend. I fell in love with the place. It have alot choices, bright nice colors, and they have sample yarn that you can do swatches and you get to keep it. The most impressive thing is that they can personalize sweater pattern for you. If you want to do the sweater in the round, but the instructions are to knit in pieces, the lady there can plug the numbers in the computer and give you a sweater pattern in the round. The best thing, is that only cost $10. I'm so happy about it because at the same time, she will take your measurements, so the size will fit, just like a personal tailor. I brought a sweater pattern & the lady changed to knit in the round. I pick out this beautiful blue yarn, but they don't have enough for the sweater, so they going to order it for me. It will take 2 weeks. It's ok, I'm willing to wait for beautiful yarn. It gives me a reason to go back there for more yarn. I also got a cone of pink sock yarn, which I'm going to put to good use by making co-workers baby items.
