[color=blue] :cheering: Am I excited? lol… sorry… will try to control myself here.
The suggested material for the lace and diamond bootees is Rowan Cotton Glace - 1 3/4 ball of cream, knitted with 1 pair of US 3 (3 1/4 mm) needles. I am reading the instructions :oops: I think I am going to really miss Silver’s play by play (socks!) Hope I can do this 
I might (insert I know I will) have questions lol :XX: [/color]

Before knitting, did you ever think you’d get this excited over a ball of yarn in the mail? 
[color=blue] 
no, I have to say. lol… but before I found this site I knit hardly at all… made a few things (mostly cocheted) when my daughter was small but NOW! … I have to have something on the needles all the time lol. Even if it is a dishcloth (like right now) :XX: [/color]

OMGOSH, when my [color=blue]HUGE[/color] order of sock yarn came from knitpicks last week…you would have thought I’d won the lotto. I’m :cheering: :cheering: excited just talking about it!!!
AND YESTERDAY
I got my circs for ‘2 socks on 2 circs’ sock knitting & a book in the mail…I 
it when the mail comes around here!
If you go here you can have a peek in the book! What fun :lol:
I’m inspired! You guys are going to help make me a rock solid knitter 4 life!! as opposed to picking up the knitting ever 5 years and making someything (if completed at all) badly.
I’m determined to cont. knitting until it’s time to leave my needles with my estate! :roflhard: (not much estate to speak of, since I’m a teacher) but I’ll have some awesome needles and yarn to pass on.
I now think of MONEY in terms of how much yarn can this buy me!!
