Awaiting the Package

Okay, so I've mentioned that I have a fiber, knitting addiction. I've even stood up and confessed it here on the blog. I've shared with you the realization I had after moving, that the yarn shop in Connecticut was my knitting muse.

Well, I've been staying in touch with my friends back at the yarn shop through Ravelry and the store's blog www.woolworksltd.blogspot.com The store owner Jen, is having a couple of off the wall, crazy sales. She is offering 30% off ALL (yes! all!) sock yarn, and then another incentive to purchase yarn is 20% off $60.+ purchase or 25% off $120.+ purchase. (Footnote: Jen must carry 20 or more different brands of sock yarn.)

So, what am I to do here in Virginia when the shop is all the way back in Connecticut? Jen came to the rescue. She put all the items I wanted into a box, gave me a great sale price, mailed it priority to me here in Virginia, and charged my credit card. She has made it so easy I'm afraid of the habit this may form. (I'll bet Mike is fearful also.)

Now I sit, awaiting the anticipated package. Will post pictures as soon as it arrives, because I'm sure you are all curious to see what I got.

2 Weeks In Virginia

- Post by Michelle
Well we have been living in Virginia for 2 weeks now. I'm slowly learning my way around thanks to Lynn (the name we've given our Garmin GPS). Here is a list of our accomplishments over the first 2 weeks. (In no particular order.)

• Mom and Dad have visited! (a huge reason why we moved to Virginia)
• I attended my first knitting group and met some wonderful knitters.
• Found where the yarn shops are. (Haven't ventured in yet they were closed when I drove past :( )
• Registered at a church.
• Got a library card. (Have yet to get my license, you can see where my priorities lie.)
• Cousin Larry and his family visited. (Another plus to being in Virginia.)
• Found my way to and from the WalMart shopping center without help from Lynn.

So as you can see we are trying to settle in and doing a pretty good job of it. Jacob even made the comment this week, "This isn't so bad." He was our biggest hurtle when we moved because of his age and all his friends in Connecticut. He however is enjoying this blog spot and the new lap top we purchased that has a web cam so, he spends a lot of his time on there with his friends. (Almost as good as being there.)
