I have participated in MyPoints for a while now and have redeemed my points several times. One time I got a $25 Barnes and Noble gift card and used it for A Gathering of Lace and one time I donated points to the red cross for the tsunami victims. When I reached the points level again this time I ordered another $25 B&N gift card. It came last week and I placed my order. Guess what came today??

Yay!! I ordered both these books and it only cost me $14. I promptly opened up Knitting Vintage Socks and what did I spy??

Oh! These are SO getting made. I ran my happy little butt all over google to find the best deal on the Louet Gems Merino Pearl that is called for and found it at Wendy’s (spaazilicious) store. I now have a cone of the Gems Pearl on the way to my house and even got to speak to the lovely Wendy herself.

Oh…shawl update

I’m on row 10 of the Diamond Madeira section.

Coming along swimmingly.
