Uuuggh.

That's how I feel right now.
But I've started working on the sweater for Wolf's sister. It's not really anything special, but hopefully it'll come out ok. I warned her it may wind up a little crappy since it's my guinea pig project. But hopefully it'll come out ok.
2 more hours until I'm back at work again. And honestly, I'm perfectly fine with that. I'm actually enjoying my job. I'm not surrounded by drama, I don't have to deal with horrible customers, and I don't have to clean up after other people because we're given certain areas to work in and that's all that we do. Yay! And it's almost $12/hour so that means more money for yarn! ;] That's horrible.
I'm still waiting on the yarn to come through the mail so hopefully those won't take too long to get here. I'm eager to start working on Christmas gifts.
I can't wait for the Winter Wonderland Coffee Swap to kick in. Seeing as how it's my first swap, I'm just eager to get going and have an excuse to buy some goodies for other people. I love to spoil others, so this should work out perfectly!
On another note, Robin's hosting a contest for her 2 year blogiversary. So you should check it out. :]

Anyways, I'm off for now to work on that sweater. The K2 P2 ribbing along the bottom is a killer. @___@ Hope everyone has a great day!

So much.

First things first, the Winter Wonderland Coffee Swap is still open for registration until the 31st. 2 more days, so get on it and join us! :]

So I went around the internet quite a bit today and spent a huge chunk of my final paycheck from Michael's on yarn. Yes, a good majority of it was for Christmas present supplies, but still. My yarn stash is getting quite insane at the moment and so I'm sure my parents will have a cow when they see all this new yarn showing up on the porch. Haha.

Anyways, I've only bought for two presents at the moment, and all the other yarn I bought was for my own personal greedy joys.

One of these little condom critters (from Naughty Needles) will be thrown together for my friend K who's moved to another area of Cali. But she's been my best friend since high school, and I know that she could probably use one of these cute little critters around her pad. ;) Christmas surprise for her indeed.


This little Head Honcho Poncho from the Nursery Knits book will be going towards my little cousin. I'm sure my aunt will love it. I'm shooting to make it a little larger then she needs at the moment though so she'll have a little extra time to fully grow into it. Some coosh room never hurt anyone, right? And please excuse the crappy picture. It's the best I could do at the moment.

Tomorrow it's back to work. I need to get more knitting done. I've been slacking. :[ I'll be sure to update with pictures of the yarn once it arrives. Yay!
