After a very long project lunch today (all project lunches should last for 2.5 hours), I went to stitch DC to see if they had short darning needles (I have thick, short needles, and thin, long needles, but no thin, short needles). I asked if they sold any and she said no, but fished around in her own knitting bag, and handed me one of hers. Figuring she wanted it back, I sat down on the couch and wove in ends to my fingerless glove. When I went to give it back, she said to just keep it, so I could weave in the ends on the second glove. *hearts*

I also picked up two skeins of Artyarns Supermarino, in the 110 colorway. I see…slouchy socks in my future (one of these days, when I learn about socks…). It sounds silly, but it reminds me of a fruity, tropical drink, with a little umbrella stuck in a pineapple or cherry. They can be happy, anti-cloudy day socks.
