New Stash

I'm very excited. Yesterday a new Books A Million opened just up the street from my house. I stopped by to peruse the crochet books and found a great book of plus sized sweater patterns. I'm making my niece a sweater for christmas and had not been able to find a great pattern but this book had just the thing. So I bought yarn, Vanna's Choice, a yarn that I really like and by the way can afford. It was actually on sale for just $2.00 a skein. I was also excited because my Ravelry Market bag came in the mail yesterday and I used it to put yarn for another sweater in to keep while I work on it. It was perfect. I'm planning to order The Crochet Dude Designs for Guys from Amazon today. I need a book with men's patterns in it and this looks like a good source. I've joined several groups on Ravelry, now all I need to do is start joining in to the group discussions. I've said a couple of things but nothing big. I'm still learning my way around the site. Well gotta go for now.
