My Mail-Person Hates Me!!

I am so pissed at the USPS.  I was SURE I would get my Vamp Sock Club package on Saturday due to the fact that Jen lives about 3 hours away from me… I was wrong!  I think my mean mailman must have kidnapped the package or given it to a neighboor, or just held it to be mean.  Or even more likely got out of his little mail truck to put my other 2 packages (sz 4 and 5 40″ addis from The Loopy Ewe and a gorgeous Vera Bradley Beach Bag delivered from Ohio) on the doorstep and forgot my Vamp one and was too lazy to get back out and put it with the others… it has to be a conspiracy of some sort!

I now know how those poor Yarn Pirate Booty girls feel.  I live on the opposite coast from Georgia and almost always get my Booty the day after it is mailed.  But I guess I have to wait on my 3-hour-away Vamp Goodness an extra day (people in California got theirs yesterday!!).  I should just drive down there to Central FL and pick it up!! It makes NO sense to me at all how the Postal Service works.

Perhaps I should do like my grandparents and put gifts in the mailbox occasionally to bribe the little wench into making my packages a priority!

Okay.  Enough complaining.  Now to the good stuff!  

I am ADDICTED to the Namaste Love group on Ravelry.  Here is my first namaste- Zuma in Eggplant

I bought another Namaste yesterday (shush! don’t tell DH)- Newport in Turqouise.  I will take pics when it gets here.  I mean the trading a destash on that group is SUPER active- you could sell and trade for a new one every week- it is like Bag, Borrow, or Steal for Namaste bags…

I also took a break from my sock and started the Katie Beret byKristen Kapur.  I am using some Dashing Dachs yarn that I got from someone’s destash (I can’t figure out where to go to buy the stuff straigt up!) and I really like it.  

I have only done the border, but it is a nice change- I haven’t knit much of anything on needles bigger than a 2 in years…maybe that is the solution to my No FO disease.  I can spread some easier projects into my queue and only work on the sock when  I feel like a real challenge not for mindless knitting- everyone needs mindless knitting, right?

Oh, and here is a pic of that Beach Bag I got yesterday.  My cousin has the same one and she is using it as her diaper bag.  I couldn’t resist having one for myself and since I have no babies, I will fill it to the brim with beach-y goodness all summer long!! (Only 15 days of school REMAINING!!!)
