Happy New Year! I went to Mike's in Springfield for an early dinner after returning home from DM (dear mothers) house. I told her I'd drive up and check on the house while they're in the land Down Undah! It's still in one piece. *giggle* She left some money to go out with for doing that so I splurged on Mike's. I LOVE their crabcake and filet mignon combo even though I hardly ate any of the filet.
Came home and watched the TV, put in a couple of movies and watched the last hour of Carson. Popped a bottle of mead and toasted the New Year! Yipee!
Now on to more important issues. Seriously! Just because it says no dye lot doesn't mean you can change the thickness of the yarn!! The new SUPAH HUGE skein I purchased to finish DH's sweater has a TOTALLY different guage than the one I bought previously. What is that about? Just to drive me insane?? Well, it's working!! I'm going with it anyway. He's not gonna notice. I'm the only one...well and fellow knitters would notice the difference and I'm sure they're not going to be pawing at my DH!

yum. crab. yum. steak. The same yarn can change gauge among the different balls?!?!?!?!?!
I'm SURE the people at Huge Skein Company, Inc. would say that OF COURSE gauge can change between balls because of the way the yarn takes the dye . . . Instead of actually fessing up to the fact that they probably screwed something up in the production process. But I'm sure the sweater will look just glorious anyway and DH will be none the wiser (think it's a miracle when men actually notice the color of the sweater . . . )
