I thought 500g/over a pound would be enough to knit The Big Blue Shawl but judging from how much I have used I'm going to need another two balls. I was desperate enough to check the Double Diamond Knits website but I think I bought their last five balls. I have burnt my bridge with them anyway. Last night I e-mailed six yarn shops on Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland (Vancouver area). One sent back an automated reply that they received my e-mail and will get back to me shortly. Another e-mail me this morning saying she stocks that yarn but doesn't know if she has the colour I need. She said she'd let me know tonight. No one else has responded to my e-mails.
Angel apparently plucked the heck out of my rovings, yesterday, when she had a nice little snooze on them. I tried to spin it last night and discovered she had almost felted one of the strips. It was full of little fuzz balls.
I was going to go for a nice long walk in the sunshine yesterday but never made it out the door and today the sunshine is all liquid. I also didn't get the groceries we need and I don't feel like going out in the rain so I'll leave that for tomorrow when I have to go out to pick up The Seven Year Old anyway.
I had a bad night. Went to sleep late and woke up early. I have to get more sleep before Saturday. DH and I are going to a Sweetheart Dinner & Dance. We went last year. It's a fundraiser for a local old folks home. Local businesses have donated items that will be auctioned off. DH and I came home with a box full of stuff last year even though we paid more than what some of the stuff was worth but hey, it's for charity. Guess I'm not so "selfish as Hell" after all.
I have another appointment with Dr Duck in two weeks and I haven't been walking or weight lifting or any of that sweaty stuff he wants me to do. I thought about lying if he should ask but I've lost my edge. I just can't lie like I could when I was a teenager.
Oh well, I think I'll go pet a cat. That always makes me feel better.


Angel-Who-Isn't is too ashamed to show her face.

Angel loves her daddy 'cause he gives good pets.
