in Hawaii

Hey Everyone, I knitted a nice dishcloth on my way from Korea to Hawaii, but since I got here I have not done a thing. Go over to www.yublogkorea.blogspot.com to see some pictures from Hawaii. I can't believe we have to leave already. Vacations never last as long as I would like. Darn you, Budget!!!

gift!

Dishclothes, ahem, I mean Spa Facecloths make a great gift. Like this one, wrapped around some soap. Just thought I would share. This is just a little gift for a friend here. I wish I had gotten on the ball to give all my friends one. I am such a dork sometimes.
Well, gotta run and organize for the packers.

Market Day

Hello everyone, thanks again for all the happy thoughts! And don't worry about the N. Korean missles, for I bought yarn today - so it is a good day.

Here are some pictures on the way to the yarn store. Every few days in the summer they have huge-er than normal markets outside of 2nd Market, and today was one of thsoe days... so I thought while I was at it I should take some pictures. I usually don't post Korea pictures on this blog (I keep them over at blog of the morning calm) but since this was semi yarn related I thought I would add it.




It is hard to find normal worsted weight yarn. Koreans seem to crochet more than knit and they also seem to always use really thin yarn. But I took Amanda along with me and she spotted some cool yarn. This is what I ended up buying... it has purple and green entwined around it. It was 6 bucks a skein and it 60% acrylic... but I loved the color. You know me and that spring green color. It is almost as bad as my orange obsession.




(by the way I bought the coolest backback this weekend that is totally orange and has my name embroidered on it. It also has a pocket for a camelback where you can put the tube through the top, but since I don't have one, I am thinking it would be a cool yarn pocket you can thread the yarn through instead!!)

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Thanks to all of you who wished me a happy birthday! June 30th was stellar as usual. Harland took me to Seoul Friday, then we stayed in Osan from Saturday until this morning. Friday night we ate a really good buffet at the hotel we stayed in and it was excellent. I will have to post pictures once I upload them.

I also started a new dishcloth on the way home, but I am afraid Pink Dandelion was right when she said most of my cloths won't make it to my own drawer! They make such great gifts.

Anyway, thanks for posting onto my blog! I will have some pictures up here tomorrow!
