All this to say, it's Jo's fault that I went. And spent money. And had fun.

Big shoutout to
The picture at right is Team Jo petting something shiny. For more yarn porn, colorandtexture uploaded a set of the part of our day that she shared.

Seriously, you should go look at her pictures. I mean, they include this:

I don't know about you, but I think it's rock star. All in day's work, even.
Right now I'm working on some fingerless typing gloves for K, because she hinted she's wearing out the last pair from overuse. I made one with some stranding in colors I associate with her, but it turned out a little too roomy, so I'm keeping it for myself. The second pair is going to fit, and I should probably even write up the pattern. It's basic, customizable, classy, has all the OCD finishing details that I love (no raw edges) and it knits up quick. The colors are nice, but brighter than I ordinarily see her wear, so I hope she likes them. I've been having fun using up bits from old projects on these; I may make her another pair just for fun. I picked up some interesting odds and ends (charms, buttons, etc.) recently and a few ideas for some subtle inside joke voodoo typing gloves are percolating in my head. Also, I am just geeky enough to get excited about how many different shapes and gusset constructions I can come up with or borrow to make something as simple as a pair of fingerless mitts or gloves.
This is what happens when I only post once a month. On that note, I'm going to go curl up on the futon and admire my stash yarn. . . or at least, I was, but someone beat me to it:
