My Plunder

Well, I can't say I really did any plundering while at the No-Coast Craft-O-Rama. I exercised great restraint and only bought one small bag's worth of goodies.

Here's everything:


I do love all the things I bought. Let's take a closer look, shall we?
First of all, this lovely hand-dyed yarn from Aisha Celia Designs. Click on the link and look at the yarn in that photo. Don't you just want to grab it and take it home? She had so much lovely yarn...I picked one ball of sock yarn. And yes! I will make socks for myself from this. It's super soft. Mmmmm....yarn....yummy.




















My first purchase was actually this pair of cute yellow earrings from Lady Rocket. She also sold fun things like key chains, pocket mirrors, little metal boxes, hair clips. Fun stuff.


I've been looking for a new key chain (I switch up key chains every few months), and I found just the thing at Button Pom. I love this fabric. A few months ago, I got my sister a little bag made of the same fabric. I got that at the Weisman Art Museum store, one of my most favorite places to shop. If you've never been to the Weisman, get there! It's free!


There were several vendors there selling letter press paper goods. I bought a desk calendar and some coasters from papered together. I think the calendar is beautiful. It may be a gift for someone. The coasters I thought were a little cheeky and fun. The vendor assured me the girls are in fact 21!




















And last but not least, I bought some soaps (to be used as gifts) and lip balm from Biggs and Featherbelle. I gotta tell ya...their packaging rocks! Of course the soaps smell great, and so far the lip balm has not irritated my lips (important...I have sensitive lips and many balms and such make them hurt). I have more soap them I can shake a stick at in my apartment, so these soaps will travel far and wide to be gifts for someone.


So, that's it. All my No-Coast purchases. Now, I eagerly await the St. Paul Craftstravaganza. I'm sure many of the same vendors will be there. I hope so anyway. I'll start saving my money now.

Well, after thinking about starting a blog for several years now, I've finally done it. Bear with me as I get the hang of it. This will mostly be a knitting blog...which I guess means I'll need to knit a lot. No problem there. Why the name, "Knitting in Transit"? Because "Knitting on the Bus" was taken. I'm sure this is only being read by family and friends, and you all know I don't own a car and get around to and fro on the bus. Where I do a lot of knitting. Expect that I may also regale you with my tales of riding the bus. Well, I can't very well have a knitting blog without a picture of something I knit, so here you go. My latest FO...Dad's Sweater. More about this later.

Report from the RNC

In the end, I couldn't resist the pull of thousands of suited Republicans in St. Paul and D and I headed downtown last night to check things out. Actually, that's a lie. What compelled me down there was my support of St. Paul business. The Pioneer Press reported yesterday on how dismal business was for some of the restaurants and shops around the convention. I figured, "Well, if the Republicans won't eat there, I WILL!" After work we headed to Cosetta's . As you can see...definite lack of Republicans. They were all outside on the street. I have to say, in my Ravelry t-shirt and Chacos, I felt a little out of place. This is as close as we could get to the Excel Energy Center. It looks like the city is on lockdown. While we were just standing around, Sean Hannity passed right by us. I've never watched a day of Fox News in my life, so I would not have known this if someone nearby had not pointed him out. Then I snapped pictures like a good blogger. We then ...

Anti-Valentine's Day

I'm not wild about Valentine's Day. Why designate one day of the year to show people you love them? Why not just do that everyday? D and I have never really done anything special for Valentine's Day. I can't even remember if we saw each other last year on Valentine's Day! This year, I want to do have an Anti-Valentine's Day. I want to spend the day with D, but do things that are the opposite of what you might do on Valentine's Day. So far, the only thing I have come up with is watching a horror movie. Since neither of us like horror movies, we probably won't do that, but I am looking for things in that spirit. Please help me. Leave any ideas you might have in comments. If you leave an idea and we do that, you'll get a special treat. Probably chocolate. Or Gummy Bears if you prefer that sort of thing.
