hellooooo from salem!
Yeah, so... Witching Hour, then! My mom and I got in at 1am last night, thanks to a train disruption between New York and Boston. (I wound up taking a shiny new Acela train for the first time for cheaper than a regular train, so it wasn't all bad.) Just got back from volunteer orientation, and I gotta tell you, this thing is gonna rock. Under my front of exhaustion, I'm really excited.
And naturally, the first thing I did this morning? Scouted out the LYS here, Arabella Yarns. :D It's actually really close to the Salem Waterfront Hotel, where we're staying -- it's part of Pickering Wharf, which is immediately behind the hotel. They've got a decent selection of DK and larger yarns, including several nice Hatmione candidates and exactly the right blue Lambs Pride I was hoping they'd have. At some point (tomorrow or Monday I guess) I want to hit some yarn shops in Boston, because hi, nice yarn == souvenir. ;)
And why did I want blue Lambs Pride, you say? Because I made an animal cracker hat on impulse last night to wear this weekend, and I need blue for the braids. It's supercute and awesome and stays on just fine. whee.
So, everybody who's headed here this weekend -- if you see me, say hi! I'll probably wear a punky Gryff uniform on Friday, Ravenclaw Quidditch on Sunday, not sure about the other days. Look for the needles. ;)
