on the box

first go back and read the very end

of this post (like the last 4 or 5 lines).

il_570xN.765395143_6vv02now, some things seem to go achingly slow.

i have this great yarn and a sweater

design-in-progress

that i have knit and unknit 3 times now.

i want it to be all that it can be,

and it’s just not that yet.

other things go surprisingly fast.il_570xN.765394729_r755

i say that because

as of today

there are 4 new knitter’s tins

in the sexy knitter’s shop

(or them sold as a set of all 4).

now lookit, they have my very own knitting on them!

il_570xN.765272808_h7b0yup, true fact. but 2 weeks ago

that was just a dream.

wow-ee!

you can check them out here.

they’re only available for the month of may.

after that you’d have to talk you local yarn store into

buying them wholesale to get one.

i’ve got 1 of all 4 coming my way next weekil_570xN.765395975_aye0

(how could i not?).

3 have the sayings on them,

but one is just knitting.

you have that option, too.

i’ll post more photos

once mine arrive.  for now i just keep clicking on the link

to see them all there in a row of listings

being absolutley real.

so yet again,

wow-ee.

perfect fit

is it my birthday?  nope.

a holiday that involves gift giving?  nah.

nonetheless, my friend renee surprised me with a treat.

she got me my own knitter’s tool tin (emblazoned with my own name).

now i know these are built to travel

and they travel very well,

but the place i can never, ever find the knitting tools i need

is in my little workroom.

so i squealed a little squeal,

gave renee a big ol’ hug and then got down to the business

of spring cleaning my desk drawers

(i’m not the only one who has the urge to clean

when given gifts, am i?…oh well).

turns out that my spiffy new tin fits exactly right

in the top desk drawer.IMG_0046cropthis happens to be exactly the right place for it to fit

since i’m often at my desk when i don’t have

the little tool i need.

so handy.

now maybe someday,

i’ll get to be the featured designer on a set of

the sexy knitter’s tins, right?

a girl’s got to dream.
