why my mom is the best ever (like I need proof)
March 31st, 2009
So today I was poking around on Knit Picks, checking out their super amazing new accessories. I mean, those blocking pads? So awesome. Immediately added to cart. I also threw in some blocking pins, yarn to make more TARDIS iPod cozies, and a few other goodies. Then I remembered that my mom was looking for an indoor/decorative scarf so I sent her an email to see what kind of scarf she wanted and what color. She seemed to like the Lace Ribbon scarf and so I linked her to some of the fingering weight yarns on KP. I said, hey, I’m throwing together an order, so just let me know what you prefer and I’ll add it. Then she says:
Thanks. Before you put in your order…..I will pay for the materials….including your order (since I cannot buy you chocolate bunnys for Easter..etc…) I will give you a credit card number to use. Don’t go over $100 for all. Let me know.
Mom
The knitting daughter’s dream come true. She is seriously so awesome. Mom <3! As my plurk buds have pointed out, “Yarn will get you much further than chocolate bunnys”! So true. Happy dance!

I wish my mom was that cool!
I bet you’re trying to figure out how to get your shopping cart to be exactly $99.99 right now! Haha!
I bought the Harmony wood DPNs lately for socks and they are soo awesome.

My mom and I talk a lot about my crafting so she knows that something like this means a lot to me.
And no, I didn’t try to stretch the money that far … I just got over the $50 free shipping minimum because I like the idea of free shipping.
I am so excited about the blocking pads. Oh man. My life is about to get so much easier.

What a great Easter gift! Better than chocolate (but only just!)
