Oh boy

It's been an expensive few days.

My heater broke. As in it is now a rather effective fan, but not particularly good at being an instrument of warmth. Normally I wouldn't worry too much - yes, my breath fogs inside the house, but I have warm clothes - but the dog is ill. I didn't tell my little sister that I bought a heater for the dog. Especially not a space-age-mica-panel heater. It seemed to work quite well last night in my room. Well, at least my breath didn't fog when I hopped out of bed at 6am.

Yeah, 6am. What the heck was I doing up at 6am?

The Local Craft Shop had a sale. A sale which was, if you got there between 6 and 7am, 40% off all floorstock. Unfortunately, they didn't have the yarn for my World Cup Project, but I did buy yarn. I worked out by the meterage that I would need...wait for it...18 Balls of Jet to complete "Samus". The meterage on it is so laaaaame. But...but...at 40% off...do-able. So I have the Jet. I don't have the World Cup Yarn. More on that when I buy it...

...I'm thinking of going for RED.

Ooo bargainous yarn. I love the Samus pattern.

Can't wait for the World Cup, but am avoiding the knitting version - the Olympics was stressful enough! Hope you guys beat Brazil.

Hope your dog feels better soon, it's good for you both to be warm. Although I still don't believe it gets cold in Australia - you all live in Summer Bay and have year-round scorching sun ;)

OH SALE YARN Works the best!! I can't wait to see your Samus... I've been wanting to make one myself but so much with the nice yarn and yardage... Don't see much for sales around here
