Now I Know Why They Call it "Black Friday"...

...because it's black when you leave the house to stand in line. Untucking from Thanksgiving dinner, no one thought I was serious about getting up before the break of dawn to go shopping. But this wasn't any shopping...this was yarn shopping. The newly opened Fiber Space shop in Old Town opened their doors at 6 a.m., offering a 25 percent discount on other-wise exorbitantly priced wool. And Being the sheep lover that I am, I fell for it. So there I was, in the dark, standing in the cold with other equally enthused nut-jobs, sipping coffee (thank you Fiber Space) and waiting for my turn to enter the store which was PACKED with other freakishly-serious knitters. It was so fun!! What does this have to do with the kids? Other than the fact they have a crazy mother? Well I'll tell you, thankyouverymuch, I bought yummy yarn to knit them sweaters. Confession: I can't wait for next year's sale. I think I'll get there a little early(er).
