While I sometimes miss being on the same timetable as the rest of society, I really actually love having a Monday-Tuesday weekend instead of the traditional Saturday-Sunday...and yesterday was definitely testament to that.
Tuesdays are my catch-up days, when I finally have time to go grocery shopping, see my wonderful acupuncturist, and play in my kitchen. But this Tuesday morning, I traded in streaming NPR and cleanup chores for the lulling cadence of Obama's voice, and got to feel like I was actually part of the world, watching the inaugural address live from my living room, enjoying my coffee and knitting a dish towel, admittedly, in my pajamas.
Then I got to enjoy the endless commentary about it all throughout the day, while I did my laundry, checked on my new sprouts, and made curried potato soup (I know, who ever thought of that, right? The key ingredients actually ended up being cauliflower, and some homemade yogurt!). Given that this was probably the first time I've turned on my TV since election night, Obama now seems to have a distinct presence in my new living room.
So, in concert with all my fellow small-time retail owners out there, I'm giving a thumbs-up to the Monday/Tuesday weekend. Plus, you all seem to like buying yarn on Sundays!
***K&C Night Time Change***Beginning tonight, Knit & Crochet Nights will be starting an hour later, by popular demand -- 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. every Wednesday night. Bring your projects, bring your friends, bring your questions, and come knit with us!
This one uses a strand of my favorite fiber that we carry in the shop -- bamboo. Not only is bamboo astoundingly soft and sleek, but it's also a sustainable fiber, grown without any pesticides or chemicals. We just got a big order in with refills on our most popular colors, as well as four brand new variegated colorways. So many possibilities!
