Books, Books, Books.

I got my books today, squeee, happy dance, happy dance!!! lo and behold, I'm sitting on my bed all comfy watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer *Since I own the complete series, I've decided to do a watch through and remember what I loved about the show* and I hear "Knock Knock" on my door. That can only mean one thing, MAILMAN!! *It's winter, I only have 1 friend in town and she doesn't visit me*

My brother gave a gift card to Borders/Waldenbooks. Since We don't have Borders here, and Waldenbooks only carries 3 knitting books *SnB and Yarn Harlot* which I own, I went online and bought Domiknitrix and Naughty Needles. Of course they messed up and didn't take the money off the gift card, and billed my bank account, but hey, more cash for more books right? I think I'm going to purchase Sensational Knitted Socks next, but I'll order it through the bookstore so I actually use the gift card.

I love the straight jacket pattern in Naughty Needles and they yarn they use. I can't wait till I'm confident enough in my knitting to knit a sweater, though I also really love the Topsecret sweater in Knitty. Though neither are probably great first sweater patterns, but alas I'm not at the level yet, I still have to learn how to knit socks.

Needless to say I frogged the 2 rows I had done with the socks, my yarn really wanted to be made into Clapotis instead, and who am I to argue with my yarn? Yea, I know, if I keep frogging I'll never finish a pair, but I have yet to find a pattern that works. Hence me wanting to buy Sensational Knitted Socks. Well I'm off to knit, hopefully finishing more then the whole 2 rows I got done yesterday.

On The Needles: Clapotis, with Violet's Pink Ribbon.
New To The Stash: Nothing yet.
In The Player: Buffy Season 2: Episode School Hard, Go Spike!, in my buffy marathon
