Well today was rather a fun day. I started my day with a quick trip for blood work as I have a doctor appointment next week...after blood work hubby and I went for breakfast...we then decided we would run over and play a quick bingo before heading out to do some errands. No win at bingo as usual...but I did stop by a little penny machine (Wheel of Fortune) and slipped $5.00 into it.....I never play penny machines but thought well I will try....I am a nickle poker machine player....anyway, I got to spin the wheel and up came 10,000 x my bet....I wasn't sure what it was but when it was done spinning it showed $103.00 so I cashed that puppy right out and went on my merry way to the yarn store......I came home with some double pointed needles...Crystal Palace, size 0....and some Tofutsie yarn and some yarn for another booga bag. I then treated my husband to a nice Mexican dinner at a new restaurant that had just opened up...I am not crazy for that type of food but we gave it a try...our waitress was very helpful and I explained that I didnt' like anything too spicy...I had a wonderful meal as did my husband...we shared a dessert and I even had a Tequila Sunrise....very good I must say....
Now it is time for me to go try my new needles and my new yarn....not sure which pattern yet or which yarn as I am wanting to give my new Panda Wool a try too.
Have a great evening everyone.

I'm glad you won...that's awesome! Good purchase!
WOW! Lucky you . I love Crystal Palace DPN's, I have to say they are my favorite, even more so than my expensive Lantern Moons and my other Rosewoods. I am knitting a pair of socks right now in the TOFUtsies, and I like it. It is very soft knit up. I have read some say they have had trouble with the way it pools and splitting but I have knit 2 pair and no trouble. I knit the first pair on pony pearls dpn's and this pair on crystal palace bamboo both on size 1. Glad to hear you had a wonderful day.
Wow, it sounds like you had a great day!!
Wahoo!! It's like getting free yarn - and dinner too....a good day!
I heard the same thing about the Tofutsies that you did Monica,from the yarn store lady but haven't tried it yet...I started with my Panda Wool, got as far as casting on and my son called from back east so I put it down and haven't had a chance to pick it up again....
Congratulations on winning all that loot! I bet you had a ball in the yarn store!
I had never heard of the Tofutsies yarn but, being a vegetarian who has eaten my weight in tofu, I'm gonna have to try some of it out.
Hurray for winning...and then buying yarn, needles and dinner!!!
YAY!
congrats on the win!! :)
