Thanks for stopping by!

So having been to Michael's not too long ago, I realized the store did not have the range of types of yarns I would like to explore in knitting. I had been looking to get into natural fibers since it would be easier to block my scarves afterwards to get rid of the curling problem I have.
The purple chenille sweater above is one I had in my donation pile as it had managed to become too short on me. The two balls of yarn to the side of the sweater were the arms of the sweater.
Today I stopped by st. vincent de paul to look for other good sweaters to recycle into my scarves. I plan to go back until the end of august to look at teh sweaters since they're all 50% off until then.
I picked up this GAP sweater
for $4. It's 50% acrylic, 45% mohair, 5% wool. It's in some fun colors tho for a scarf. I've already dissassembled the front panel and one arm. Here's one of the hanks from that
I also picked up another large greenish sweater that's 100% lambswool. I intend to make a great collection of these recycled yarns so this fall I can knit up a bunch of scarves for the winter.
Note says, "Park more courteous - can't say please cause people like you is why the worlds all fucked up"
She was apparently mad that I parked a couple feet too far from the red zone on the curb. In my defense, it would have been very difficult for anyone to park in front of me even if I had been parked next to the red (I know because I moved it up to the red after I found out about the mad lady) unless they drove a mini or a z3. Furthermore, there was actually quite a lot of parking on the street still available.
Blah. Apparently my poor parking is the bane of the world.
Once one of the greatest rock bands to ever walk the face of the earth, the mighty Who has been reduced to a pair of middle-aged gentlemen propped up by professional sidemen, running through a crisply efficient, vigorous version of the band's old program.
Today after going to Costco and OSH with paulie, e and I returned home. We walked into our courtyard between the parking lot and our corridor. I mentioned that I was hoping to see the little kitten that has moved into someone's apt on the 2nd floor (ooh how bad of them!).
Ervy then pointed out the very sad kitty that was in front of us. I hadn't noticed him in the shade. It was dreadfully skinny and its fur was quite dull and dirty. It was surrounded by a swarm of flies and bees. The worst thing about this kitty was its wounds. It had obviously been in some sort of fight. It was missing it's nose and entire top of its mouth, leaving a gaping hole in its face that flies continued to try to land in.
I put food out for the kitty and water. We called Palo Alto Humane Society and SPCA, but before someone arrived the kitty wandered off, and I couldn't find him after that.
