Once Again

My best laid plans....
BUT first and foremost....Happy Birthday to my Mommy!
I had big plans this weekend to do some serious holiday knitting. Did I? No, but I did finish Christmas Gift #1 tonight. It's blocking. It's lovely. Check Ravelry in a couple days for finished pics. And I'll post about it on the 26th, or a few days shortly after (December that is).
Maybe I should just give up this whole holiday knitting thing. We'll see...
We went looking for a wedding dress on Saturday. It was kind of stressful, and the fact that I totally wasn't in the mood to be smooshed (okay, I wasn't REALLY smooshed, but it felt like it) into a dress didn't help.
We found two that I liked, though one was $700 more than the other one...I'm leaning towards the cheaper one, but our search is not done yet. I kind of feel like I'm just going along for the ride with this, and for now, I'm okay with that. If my bridesmaids want to see me stuffed into several (many tens of) dresses, okay. They've been super helpful with planning and everything so far, so I really appreciate it.
Speaking of bridesmaids...I should probably officially ask them. They haven't been officially asked. I don't know what I'm waiting for.
You know what I would like to find...sock yarn...that's deep brown and a lilac/lavender color with a bit of pink thrown in...maybe a smidgen of smoky blue and a bit of pale sage. It looks really pretty in my head, but I don't think such a thing exists.
Anyway, in the midst of my "holiday knitting" I started a Clapotis out of Malabrigo Silky Merino.
Oh my god!! This yarn is glorious. We have it in the store...trying it out. Everyone should go and buy it. It's SO soft, and has a beautiful, slightly understated sheen, and the gorgeous colors! I picked a green and blue one, totally not me, but I'm really liking it.
I promise pictures when I'm a bit further.
