I watched the news this morning and discovered it was National No Pants Day. The news showed passengers getting on the subway in their bikini underwear and boxer shorts. Really? I'm trying to figure out what their point is. Of course I noticed that all of the pantless people chose to stand even though there were seats available. I am so glad that I wasn't one of those passengers that had to sit and have the view of a pantless person on eye level.
I was busy with other things last Friday so Shopsmanservant got to meet with a sales rep. When 5 hours had passed and I discovered that he was still ordering, I was becoming a little panic. It's not safe to leave him alone - especially with Jane nearby! The amount he told me he spent has changed a couple of times and I'm sure it's not near the proper amount. I could look at the order receipts but I guess it's just as well to postpone my stroke by a few weeks. In the meantime, I'll enjoy looking at the yarn he bought from the rep that day. We're restocked on our Blue Heron Rayon Metallic. I have a hank that I purchased years ago to start the Clapotis. The Clapotis bored me so I put it away but now I'm thinking of dragging out the yarn to repurpose it. However there are a couple of new colors that are enticing me. Oh, decisions, decisions....
Shirley also helped shopsmanservant with his buying and thought it would be a good idea to bring back Blue Heron's Rayon Loop. The rep had a scarf knitted out of it that Shirley loved so yesterday she grabbed this color and wound it in a cake to take home. So pretty. I love seeing how the colors play against each other once it's wound in a cake. Each hand-dyed hank has a very generous yardage amount - 325 yards and retails for $40.50.
Look for these colors and many more on our "New Items" table!
