What I did today

[Railbird]

Well, I've been wanting to get the book "The Happy Hooker" for quite some time now - I felt like everyone else had it and not me

 

So my DH went to play golf this AM w/friends and he must have felt generous (or guilty) because he left me $$$ to go get my book and go to AC moore to buy yarn (they had all their yarn 25% off today).....

 

So I go off with $$ in hand and go to AC Moore to get yarn because I also have been wanting to make the Caron soft sage jacket, so I buy the victorian rose color yarn - I have never used that yarn before and I love it:manyheart. It is soo soft. They didn't have SNB THH there, so off to BArnes & Nobles I go....

 

I get my book!!! Then decide I also want a copy of the new Family Circle crochet magazine - they didn't have it. So then I'm off to Target (hoping they have it because I save 10% on mags there)! They did - so I buy it! I also bought some cute little beads in their $1 section - shaped like little dice!

 

So now I'm all set to go home and start on my soft sage/rose jacket - but first I have to look through my new book and I see Frou-Frou!!!

 

Goodbye soft sage/rose jacket!!! Hello Frou-Frou!!!

 

I am on row 12 of Frou-Frou! By the way there is an correction sheet out for the book because I had to take a break because the numbers weren't making sense in the book - so I knew there had to be a problem somewhere! Here's the link in case anyone is looking for it:

I haven't even looked at my magazine yet!! Probably a good thing.

 

Just wanted to share my story with people who understand!!

Yay! I'm glad you finally got the book - it's really quite good, isn't it?

 

I like frou-frou, too but I don't think it will look very good on me...

Sounds like a totally awesome day to me! It's still early here...hmmm, maybe I should go do some shopping

I have got to find a crochet magazine seller. I really had no idea that I lived this far out in the sticks. I never see these mags.

Darski, I usually find crochet magazines at Chapters bookstore or Indigo bookstore. Do have one of those bookstores near you or in the closest town?

[Railbird]

Believe it or not, this mag was also available at my local grocery store - I saw it last night and didn't buy it then! That was my backup plan in case Target didn't have it!!

 

I know the feeling - usually you can't find any crochet mags in the stores....

I've looked in every newsagent I've been to (and I always look in the bookstores for crochet books) - and I've never seen a crochet magazine! The bookstores mainly have knitting books but none for crochet, although I did find one...

I will make a point of going to the mall and looking for other mag suppliers to find this but they haven't shown up at my local grocery store or our Avondale (corner store but big on lots of mags - every porno mag known is here...sigh)

 

Our Coles (book chain) has never been big on mags but they did add some a few years back. I guess I just need to search. Of course, I could ask/order at my local Avondale but I would have to take it every month
