it makes me want my yarn NOW though. i ordered from fabulousyarn for the first time and it said it should be here within 7 days. it's been 10 and the tracking number they gave me still isn't bringing up any info. i'm going to try and be patient though.
to procrastinate weaving in those ends a little longer, to get ready for xmas AND to satisfy my knitting urges i hauled out some REALLY old Wool-Ease yarn and tested out the pattern for Knitted Ornaments in Handknit Holidays (or free here). i think it's my first project that i finished in one day - not only does it feel great but makes me confident i can make enough for presents for xmas. and i had to learn how to do a crochet chain(thank you, youtube) - super duper easy and fast.
oh and i had to write out the pattern for only 4 dpns - size Small only (the rest of the pattern can be found here):
