Rhinebeck, Muir, and work

Lots of fun things recently. First of all, I landed myself a promotion at work. Always a good things, unfortunately it means I get to be on the phones now, but oh well right? Better hours and better pay, mean more time to knit and more money to buy yarn.
Also headed to the NYS Sheep and Wool Festival, had a blast. Went with Amanda, met up with Sam and a few of her friends. Lots of good food, and LOTS of yarn. But it was far to busy and crowded for me to get a good look at anything, so i think next year I'll go later in the day, might not have as good a selection, but I can't deal with all those people. Granted it meant I spent less many than i had planned on, which is always a good thing. But still! i was hoping to grab a sock kit or two, as well. I still made out good, I found a huge hank of this beautiful teal lace yarn for 30 dollars. I officialy <3 Maple hill farms. 100% merino wool, 2500 yards of the stuff. Spent all night at my dad's house makeing use of my step-mom's computer to find the best pattern I could. Decided on Muir from knittying, don't remember which season. i'm hoping the color changes will show up well. hopefully i'll be able to post some pictures either later today or tomorrow.
Well I'm off for now. Back to work, back to the phones and the lovely world of pharmacists and doctors.
salute! *raises tea mug*
