The Raven Series just dropped on the Blue Moon website. Based on all the activity over on the Socks that Rawk! forum on Ravelry, Tina and crew will be significantly wealthier (or at least less light in the pockets) and busier after this evening. I know people who ordered all thirteen colorways! I contained myself and only ordered Rook-y and Thraven. I also ordered Christmas presents for three friends (and two of them should have a pretty good idea of who they are!), three patterns, and well…a crapload of yarn for myself. I never did buy myself a birthday present, so there it was. I am on a sock yarn diet until I get some of my massive stash knit up.
And because of a 50% off coupon from Barnes & Noble, I also pre-ordered Series Three of Doctor Who. List price was $99, online discount brought it down to $79, member discount brought that down to $70, and the coupon brought it down to $35. With that and free shipping, I would have been kicking myself if I hadn’t bought it. Besides, I need to see all the scenes that the Sci-Fi Channel cut!
With that large bit of shopping behind me…it’s time to watch the Steelers.

I refuse to go to the Blue Moon Website to see what I’m missing out on because I am not allowed to buy any more yarn right now. (Self-imposed rule after SAFF.) Therefore, I am living vicariously through you. This is the only way I can stay strong.
Grace~Stay strong, grasshopper. I already found another color I would have liked to have ordered in Laci. And lace yarn doesn’t count as sock yarn…ah, hell, I’ll just wait until next year.
