Now till January 31st I will be knitting hats for the Coats for Kids drive. Hats are needed and if there is one item I can turn out in a flash it is a hat. If you'd like to help the cause I have set up a yarn wishlist at Kaleidoscope Yarns: http://www.kyarns.com/wishlis... 2 skeins turns out 4-5 hats. The goal is 50 hats in 2 months!
Whoa! You posted this from 35 days in the future!!

I know, right! They have this parade every year at this time. It would be nice if they at least waited for Thanksgiving to pass. But, Ill live with it since I love Christmas.

The lady at the yarn store always seems so aggravated when I tell her that I do not need her to wind my yarn. Today I finally told her after she got all uppity, that I own my own swift and ball winder. Thank you very much.
well that's a switch. at myold lys it was like - there's the swift, do it yerself. but i have my magical reeling machine (as the japanese translation tells me it's called) and ball winder now.

She just gets so offended. Blows my mind. Really I dont know why I shop there.

That's dumb....I'm the first person to lose the ball band once I wind the yarn, you'd think she'd understand that. I think I've had yarn wound for me once....in one store...ever. And that was before I owned a swift and winter.

Sometimes when Im bored I like to see how big I can get my hair.
So the holiday GAP commercial where they are cheering/stepping/dancing/annoying the living shit out of me........I may have to learn some transcendentalist meditation so I can tune it out when I can't change the channel or hit the mute button quick enough. I've seen it 15 times already and we have a whole month to go.....ugh.
I found that turning off the TV has much better results than any meditative practices for dealing with commercials. If you don't see them they can't bug you.

Yes, I know, but there is football and hockey to be watched.

I count backwards from 301 by 7s in times of stress, but it seems that nothing can block out the horror of that commercial. If you find anything that works please share it! :)
