Ooops, I went a leetle bit crazy at Knit Happens

So, Knit Happens, in Alexandria, VA was having a HUGE! HUGE! sale. I went a little bit crazy. $150 dollars later, I had four bags of yarn. (I think I saved something like $500 or more...insane.) A lot of cotton, some soy, I also tried some animal fibers to see if my allergies will let me knit with them or not. I have grand plans, people. Grand! Then today I bought some Debbie Bliss Cathay from elann.com. I do not have a problem. I also do not have enough storage for all this yarn. The Knit Happens batch is strewn on my bed, as I left the next day for my folks.

I'm making progress on the baby knitting. I brought three projects home with me. One baby cardi (Daisy, finished the body up yesterday, started the sleeves today) and two projects I have yet to cast on for. In hindsight, it's probably a little silly to bring this much knitting with me, but I like having a plethora of options.

Most exciting thing about my vacation so far was seeing Ruth Bader Ginsberg at National Airport. It was all I could do not to squee, run up to her and be all 'you go girl!' like an idiot law student. I figured the Federal Marshall, or whoever the big serious looking guy following her would probably tackle me or something like that. Plus, dude, decorum around the Justices. I also thought it was amusing that I recognized her pretty quickly, but on my last trip to Florida had to ask ask someone who the hell the tall guy in first class was. It was Shaquille O'Neil, and everyone else was walking through high-fiving him and taking his picutre. I wonder if anyone has ever high-fived or fist-bumped RBG.
