Like I said earlier, the Artyarns regal silk came today. OMG. OMG. OMG. I will never knit anything else again. That's an overstatement but it's like knitting an orgasm. It's so soft and dreamy and ooooooh it's beautiful. The cool thing (to me) is how it seems to bloom as you knit it. It showed up in this tiny little hank that seemed impossibly thin. I felt cheated. By the time I had wound it into a ball it had fluffed up a little better but I didn't believe I would ever get gauge with size 7 or 8 needles on this yarn (and have a reasonable fabric) but you do!! As you knit the yarn plumps up, I can't explain it; it's wierd and cool and amazing. It's also gorgeous. Tomorrow or Saturday I will post some samples of the brocades that I bought for the lining of my purse and you all can help me choose. I am no good at sewing but the pervert is! Hooray for the pervert!

I just found out this evening (yay!) that the pervert won't be going to Hawaii this summer, that he will have back to back jobs in San Diego (double yay!) so he will be in visiting distance and maybe I can finagle a visit to Sea World for the kiddos (since he works for my mom and dad, may as well drag my nephew with) into the deal. Anyhow, before the summer season begins, he's going to have a week off so next weekend we are going camping. Lalalalalala I haven't been camping since the fateful camping trip where we begat/begot/begetted/whatever the Megbeast. We're either going to the Littlerock dam (snore) or the Colorado River near Blythe, California (Yeehaw!) I am sure you can tell which I am rooting for. I am thinking of trying to convince my sister into coming with. We could make it a double thing. The kids would love it and since it would be just a Friday to Sunday thing the husbeasts would be ok (mine has the week off but hers doesn't)
