(no subject) [Collected Thoughts]

I'm pmsing. I've typed up several rants against neocons, Bush the Lesser, and so called Christians and deleted all of them. I'm all snarly and I want salt and sweet and god Ijust want my period to start so I can be over this feeling.

I just want to growl at every one and put up a big ass DO NOT DISTURB sign. But I'm the first face most people see and the first voice most hear so I've been acting nice and perky. Doesn't translate to feeling perky on the inside.

Yesterday I went to Jo Anns to look for yarn for my brother's scarf, I doublechecked the pattern I'm using and it calls for double knitting weight yarn. I couldn't find anything labelled like that, but I couldn't find four shades of the same yarn I'd be interested in using so it's just as well. I'm going to go to Michael's this weekend and also to the yarn store that I know is around here some place. But I don't have a lot of money so I can't buy really fancy stuff. I have to figure out what colors I want. Also I have to get a metal hook, I have several plastic ones but Mom said it would be easier with a metal hook.

And I was thinking about trying to make a candle or something but Jo Ann's didn't have any candle making things I could find. They had several aisles of scrapbooking stuff, a ton of scrapbooking stuff, I'm not sure how well it sells since there's a scrapbook store two doors down.

Didn't watch hockey last night after watching it monday. Tampa snapped the losing streak and then couldn't get a winning streak going. They play Thursday but I'm committed to something else.

Frustrating.

On the yarn question, I've found Walmart to have a better selection than I would have expected, and reasonablish prices. Hate going there, but it's better for me than the fabric stores I have nearby.

I'll try Wal MArt. I went to Michael's after work and poked around, they kind of have a better selection. While I was there a woman shopping for yarn helped me out with some stuff -- pointed me to the right type of hook, explained some of the stuff and even looked at the pattern I was making and had some suggestions. And told me I should go to her knitting group, which was a different knitting group than the one I had found.

This made me remember that my co-worker came down the hall today with a snarl on her face and said under her breath, "It's hard being a girl." So true!

Today I'm over the snarly bits. But my day hasn't been much better, I tripped and fell and hit the side of my face on a step ladder. Thankfully not hard enough to bruise.

I think that Woolease is closer to a DK weight than a worsted, if that helps.I have used it in DK patterns with no problem, especially in something like a scarf, which doesn't need to fit as well as say, a sweater. And while woolease is not as nice as many of the more expensive yarns, it has been, for me, a good alternitive to spending a million dollars. DK is a weight between worsted and sport, but they seem to make it only in fancy schmancy yarn.
