It's already beginning....

The Knitty knit-a-longs, that is. Eklektica! has already put out a call for Mariah knit-a-longers. What did I do? Well, I signed up of course! I even hopped on over to Joann.com and ordered my yarn. It was only $3.99 a ball--good deal. I ordered the Russet color. It sounds like a potato, but it looks like a rusty brown:

I wanted something neutral, but not my normal black or grey. The brown will work.

I also wanted to thank Monica that I met at a knit night a while back. She offered to pick up that Japanese knitting magazine for me from a Japanese bookstore in Arlington Heights. Monica, I sent you an email--if you didn't get it, let me know.


In other news, I am to the decreasing on the left right panel of the Ribby Cardy. I know I said I would have pictures, but I watched The Terminal with the husband last night and didn't get a chance to take the pictures I wanted. I think I might rip that sleeve I already did. I don't like the way it turned out. Since I have to do another one anyway...
