.you gotta have goals.

today, my goal is to make this sweater. it's in jo sharp's new knitting pattern book, saturday. every pattern knocked my socks off. so much so that i shelled out $14.25 to buy it, and this is the second ever knitting book i have ever purchased. i am a cheapskate, and i get all of my knitting books from the library.

splurge #2: i just ordered the actual yarn that the pattern called for from webs for $2.60 a skein. that's cheap. in the store, this yarn costs almost $8 a skein. i'm a cheapskate rockstar. the color i chose is called oyster, and looks to be a gray, ethereal cream.

if i ever get a digital camera, i might even show you how it goes.
