Just a reminder that April is just around the corner and April is National Poetry Month. Poets.org is my all time favorite site for finding a good poem and they have tons of things you can do to celebrate. Right now I am currently on an Emily Dickinson kick.
I was really naughty today. I bought a copy of Living Like Ed so I wouldn't have to keep checking it out and I bought the Top Chef Cookbook. Sunshine and I made a panini recipe for dinner today from it but we modified because there is just some stuff that is hard to find around here or we just don't like it. We don't have a panini press so we stuck them in the good old George Foreman grill which worked out just fine. The paninis turned out great. They are really easy and you have so many variations you can do depending on what you want to use.
We had lunch at the Red Onion Cafe and as we were walking to the cafe I saw a yarn store. Hot damn! I must have some kind of yarn radar. It is called The Needle Niche and it is really cool. It is a small store but it is full of yarn, and that is what counts. I bought a skein of Reynolds Smile yarn and an Addi I hook. They had a lot of Mission Falls and Rowan there which was really hard to pass up but since I bought two books this morning, I had to restrain myself a little. Lunch was good and so was the yarn.
I have just tied on my 4th or 5th skein for the shawl that I started earlier this week.I have purchased 7 skeins total, but I kind of lost track of how many I have left. I will have to check my portable stash. I still have a ways to go, but I am getting a lot closer. I just really love using this yarn. It is so soft and pretty. I might have to use this again when I have a good coupon. $3.99 seems cheap but it's not extremely cheap considering these skeins only have 103 yards. I will definitely have to post pics when I finish. I am still debating about whether or not I should put fringe on or not.
Hopefully our warm weather comes back soon. I like seeing the sun every once in awhile.
