Sigh... Yarn... Sigh... School...

Well, I have had a few wonderful, fibreful days.

My good friend Shannon is having a sale on her website, 30% off all yarn if you type in the coupon code SCHOOL (ends Sept 14). So I had to buy a bunch more yarn, 'cause, well, sale.





I tried my hand at making my own stitch markers. They turned out all right. Not perfect but not bad for my first attempt. I got the beads at Gibsons Fibre Festival. Aren't the little ladybugs too cute?





Then yesterday was Unwind Yarns debut selling yarn at the Coquitlam Farmer's Market. So I went to help her sell yarn. It was so much fun. The atmosphere at the market is just fabulous. There were so many dogs there. It seems to be the place to bring your dog.



Tonight I went to Monday Knit Night at Black Sheep Yarns. What fun! There was at least 16 of us there. The store is beautiful. I finally got on the Malabrigo Wagon and brought home 3 skeins of laceweight to match my new kiwi green Stormtech jacket.








But now, I really need to stop procrastinating and do some school work. I started a course this semester: Advanced Corporate Finance. It is my third-to-last CGA course towards my designation. It is an awfully scary, hard course, so I have been distracting myself with all the wonderful fibre-y-ness but I suppose I should start reading that horribly boring no-pictures-no-colour text book...

Sigh...
