Pardon me while I fibergeek-out for a moment . . .

Oh, my gods.

I so have to make me one of these!

Preferably in purple . . . or maybe a varigated blue and white . . .

Yowza!

That is absolutely you. . . (I'll reserve judgement on the purple)

BTW, where did you get that userpic? (I like it)

[omorka.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not sure they make that yarn in purple, now that I'm thinking about it. Lavender, maybe.

That user icon is from the Fat Dolly paperdoll site here (http://www.spookbot.com/green/fatdollie.htm).

there's always other cotton yarns...like mission falls 1824 cotton that happens to come in purple.

Yeah, but I'd really like something I can pick up locally, that isn't quite as expensive. Color-checking by computer is always iffy at best.

On the other hand, it might give me an excuse to order from someplace online that will sell me a pair of 16" circulars - all I can find around here are 24" and 28".

omg please tell me you know about elann.com and their awesome supply of needles?

i would consider checking there for yarn, too. they have a lot of really good cotton yarns right now.

Ooo, they have bamboo circulars in a 16" . . . terribly tempting!

My primary online yarn/needle supplier has been Patternworks (http://www.patternworks.com/PWShopping/index.asp). I haven't really worked too hard at finding other places to spend money while I have two or three projects going simultaneously . . .

Cool hat! Go for it, definitely a deep purple kind of accessory.

*bad news* - I'm not going to make it to GURPS this wednesday. With all of the house problems I'm having to work xtra shifts to pay for it. :( Yay OT, boo i don't get to play.

Ugh. Would you like me to play your character as an NPC for the evening, or should we cancel altogether?
