I'm so jealous!

OK I haven't received my yarn yet -and I'm getting pissed. I can feel the excitment building and I long to be apart of it! I did get my first set of circular needles and stitch markers this weekend. The nice ladies at River City Yarns thought the pattern was beautiful but had never heard of it before (and they thought they were all that!). I also picked up some sock yarn (like I need more) in a variety of colours. It seems that colour and name have a lot to do with my choices. Much like when I choose wine - which I'm sure I'll be needing a lot of to get through this knit along. So cheers, dear knitting friends, try not to spill!
