This is not a Maryland Sheep and Wool post.

Not really.

I'm ready for the rain to stop now.  KTHXBAI.

It made working at Tess' Designer Yarns booth a bit muggy and soggy.  Especially today.  Which was worse because I had my hair cut and colored yesterday, so I can't get it wet/wash it until tomorrow.  So I spent most of the day entirely covered by a raincoat.  But it was actually busy.  Surprising, considering the rain.

I DID come back with a bit of a haul.  Weird, considering I wasn't planning on buying anything and really didn't WANT anything.  Until I got there of course.

I'm going to share the most important stuff now, and I'll tell about the rest later.  But lookie.

A MOOSIE.  I was lucky enough to contact them about any available orphans and I scored this one!  Its a crappy picture, but she is beautiful.  Of course, I had to find something perfect to spin on it, so I found this.

Two silk caps.

But I was still having a bit of a Bosworth jones.  So little Miss Mahogany came home today too.

(Insert big cheesy grin RIGHT HERE.)

My knees, my back, my feet...they're killing me.  Apparently I'm not as young as I was this time last year.  But on the nifty side, I got to have a great conversation today with Amy Singer of Knitty.  We were matching up some silk lace-weight at Tess' for her.  It was fun to play.

I picked up some other stuff, like a jumbo flyer for my Hitchhiker that I got last year, beeswax hand cream.  My mother not only bought the Moosie for me, but also some size 4 circular glass needles from Sheila and Michael Ernst, which makes pair #4.  They're in the Lime and Violet color.  No picture I took does them justice, so you'll have to imagine them.

I'm going to bed now.
