So, what makes a moody house-elf with the cramps happy? New shoes, of course! And lo and behold, a large box of them arrived in the mail today. I bought them at Delia's, on clearance, and paid about 110$ for them - including shipping and horrible customs this came closer to 220, but that's still not bad for 3 pairs of shoes. Should be set for winter!
Another thing that arrived in the mail wa
s this book, and I have already started on a test knit on the mohawk hat. It's not the right gauge needles or the right yarn, so it'll probably come out all wonky and the wrong size, but it's nice to have some practice before starting ruining proper yarn. If it turns out all right, I have a few more to knit for friends, and I'll probably end up living in my hat all winter! Along with my perdy new shoes.
