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!
