:crying: Well I found out that hubby was at Ram Wools today and nearly got me the set of Denise’s. I hadn’t given him a specific list since in the past he’s gone to an LYS and just looked around dumbfounded and come out empty-handed. I guess he saw me eyeing up the Needlemaster set when we were at Mike’s, and was wondering if I would like the Denise’s. Apparently he was also looking at some set of circs too. The clerk offered him a gift certificate, but DH sees that as just giving cash, which to both of us it a thoughtless present {for each other}… for me a gift certificate from a place like that shows he was thinking of trying to get me something, but was totally lost! Anyway, I just wanted to cry on a few shoulders that would be totally sympathetic…
[size=1]Hmm… wonder what he did get there though?!?[/size]
He told me this afternoon. Unless he’s been talking to my best friend {not unheard of in the least}, he wouldn’t have known how much I’d like an interchangable set. Like I said, he’d only seen me eyeing up the Needlemaster set, and I don’t recall saying anything about it to him then. I seriously doubt he would have even brought it up if he had gotten them… he’s not the type to drop red herrings like that.
When we were at Ram’s about a week ago picking up his sock yarn, there wasn’t really any time at all to look and feel. He may have done a bit of touchy feely while I was waiting in line. He did see me eye up the thummed mittens kits, and I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned to him that I wanted one. I took a quick peek at the FT patterns, but not long enough for him to notice. I took a half-decent look at the various gift sets they had and he was right beside me as I did. He was also beside me as I asked the clerk for the bamboo dpns, and knows they would be a treat for me… Lotsa choices, I’ll find out tomorrow morning whether or not he actually bought me anything there or not! If he did, that’s a first since he’s never managed to come out of an LYS with a present for me yet!
With my DH I have to practically spell it out. LOL Not a problem this year…we aren’t exchanging gifts. Instead we are taking a trip to Vancouver Island for a week in January to meet some photography buddies.
Next time you’re in the yarn shop, you have to say, quite loudly, “Hey, I sure wouldn’t mind if someone bought me these!” every time you see something you like. Maybe he’ll get the hint!
I didn’t get anything craft related for Christmas, but I am still getting my Denise’s! :cheering: I guess hubby figgered out how disappointed I was/ how much I wanted the set. He’s gonna get 'em for me out of his January commission cheque! He’ll be getting that either in a week and a half, or his following payday two weeks later. With the holidays and all, the cut-off dates for their pay submission is all screwy. I hope that it’s in a week and a half though! As of January 1st my hours have been cut back to 4 days a week, so I’ll need new needles to keep me busy with all the knitting I’ll be able to do!
