You say it's your birthday...
Well it's my birthday, too!
I did get myself a little yarny present.....
(No, not the whole basket - but that's Tess superwash sock/baby, people! For sale within a 20 mile radius of my house!) I found a lovely turquoise skein that I just had to have. (Actually, there was a burgandy one that I liked pretty well too, but someone got it first!)
But the very best gift of all was getting to spend Saturday with my knitty friends Tammy and Brianne!
On Saturday morning we met at my house and drove out to Rogersville, Mo to look for a new yarn shop that opened recently. It's called One City Market and it's in an old house that has been converted to yarn shop, knitting and weaving studio, and - coming soon - dye studio! The selection is really good, and there is lots of room to pull up a chair, knit a while, and chat. I loved the shop owner Lisa's stories about knitting socks for her teenage nephews, who insist on socks made from the yarn that has jojoba oil in it, because they like how it makes their feet soft! I just kept cracking up picturing a pack of teenage boys surrounding the sock yarn section, picking out their next pair. =)

Happy Birthday, Zarah! Looks like you had a fun birthday weekend. I have some of that yarn with jojoba in it and I was looking forward to knitting with it because I thought it would be nice on my hands, but I guess the jojoba lasts enough to make the wearer's feet soft, too. (Looks like those socks will be for me, then!)
