Pass-adeena

I heart Pasadena! I wish I lived closer, but I couldn't afford it and then I couldn't work where I do and my husband would either kill our neighbors or himself. We were down in P-town earlier today for a meeting and some light shopping (old town is great! I love Urban Outfitters and there was this paper store of my dreams!). We also stopped by a new yarn store, but in the fashion of so many So Cal yarn sources, it was closed on Sundays (I know their site says they are open Sundays but they are assuredly not). After a short cry, we headed to:

the greatest grocery store on earth.
We managed to escape without spending our total life's savings, which is rare for such a great store. Of course there were other stores involved and other adventures, but of course I'm just giving you the highlights.

While my poor husband, who detests traffic mind you, was chauffeuring me around, I got to work on these babies:

and now my socks are starting to have little feetsies! I'm not sure what I will do with my spare time once these are done. I've been banished from yarn buying for myself... I wonder if KnitPicks yarn counts (I've never tried it, but it's sooooo cheap). Or hopefully my secret pal will pull through with something amazing? Keep your fingers crossed people!
