But to lose all my senses, that is just so typically me.

If you recognize those lyrics, I'll give you a dollar out of sympathy.

Anyway, we did go out to Commuknity and we had an excellent time. There's something about people actually talking to their customers (typed: costumers), and big open spaces that are walker/wheelchair/crutches friendly (there was a lady on crutches, and Grandma had her walker), with lots of places to sit. (And for Calmer comparison: eleven dollars at Commuknity.)

And, if you're in a good mood, with a friendly atmosphere, you're more willing to buy. Which I did. I bought six balls of Rowan Wool Cotton in Rich to make Hopeful. There were a lot of pretty colors, but I already have blue, fuschia, and teal things lined up to knit.

I also enabled both my mom and my grandma. Grandma wanted to knit a throw, but since they're big, they're ambitious, they add up. So we ultimately figured that really, she just wanted to knit something, so why not a scarf for my cousin? We picked out two skeins of Silk Garden in really pretty colors (a new color I hadn't seen!), a circular needle in size 10, and she's good to go. Mom, on the other hand, has swiped my Crystal Palace 9s (the ones I used for Audrey) and so she bought me a Clover 9 to replace it; I'll be using it for my Calmer-sub jacket. When I get to that. And she also bought some Crystal Palace Kid Merino in a really pretty pink-green. Roses, actually.

And since there's always the issue of "who won": Mom won, followed by Grandma. I lost. ...Or did I?

I'll probably start up on Hopeful after I finish up the Cabaret sweater, which I've been working on off and on. I mean, I'm still on the back (bleh), but I haven't really been knitting much this past week, despite carrying it around with me the whole time, from work to the city to work to the movies to a bar to Half Moon Bay to San Jose and back again.

Oh, and hey, something to make with Cotton Fleece.
