Coupon Day

Yesterday was the first day of the 40% coupons that I had for Michaels. Naturally, I went because I had 3. I spent an hour picking out yarn, a few minutes picking out accessories, and another hour picking out a book.

I then decided that $4 yarn (two more of the yummy, yummy purple) was a waste of a coupon, so I just wanted the book and the $7 row counter (but I still bought the yarn). This is when I found out that Michaels doesn't accept coupons for books. Down to one coupon-worthy item and two balls of yarn, I angrily paid and left. Bookless.

Oh well.

I'm still trying to find the perfect pattern for the shawl that I'm looking to make for my friend Andie for xmas, and I'm still hunting for the perfect yarn for mom's hat/scarf/mittens for xmas, and that hunt doesn't seem as though it's going to end any time soon.

In other, wonderful news, mom wants to start knitting again. Yay!
