Today I:
*sent my magic yarn ball at last,
*picked up a skein of hand-dyed wool for my coffee and knitting swap, and
*bought myself two ounces of pretty Colonial wool roving.
I don't feel terribly accomplished, and I do still have gifts to finish knitting, but I have a sudden urge to knit selfishly for just a little ... so I've pulled the long cotton A-line eyelet skirt out of my trunk and will do a few rows of that. I may even have it done in time for spring. ;)
(Note to self: must also find piratey clothing for painting faces this weekend.)
