Self-medicating

I had a miserable day at work today. All I could think about on the el ride home was going to Nina to buy some yarn. Some people eat chocolate, some people drink. Me? I buy yarn. Unfortunately (fortunately), I don't get paid until Wednesday, so I didn't get off until my own stop. So far, I've resisted shopping online, too.

I don't have much to report, since the projects I'm working on are pretty much secret. I'll be three nights in a hotel this week, so I plan on making major progress on the something for Jen. I may also take along the sweater for Joseph to provide a break from the something for Jen. If I work on that, I may have photos for the next post. Here's hoping.

Oh no! Another "Crach-opoly" of your projects. Where is the TK project? The hat maybe?

Sorry about work.

I hope your week is getting better. A friend told me that "mercury is in retrograde" and that we can blame the negative engery on that...so I am!

I haven't stopped in Nina --- though I drive by it quite often. Heard it's a favorite with my pals still in the city. How do you rate it --- is it a must stop next time I'm cutting through Wicker Park?

Of course it's a Crach-opoly. You guys are my favorite recipients.

Nina is a great yarn store. It appeals to me because I like the orderliness of it. I'm not a fan of yarn in cubbies (too messy), and the way Nina has her yarn displayed is good for me. It's all really nice yarn, so expect to spend a little if you plan on buying yarn. The yarn is definitely worth it.
