Last night we (they?) decided that I needed to have a logo. So I went with the "Envy = Mortal Sin" angle, and I got the Devil Sheep. Isn't he cute? I have some more small things to change from the last incarnation of YarnEnvy, but I have a lot of it done. They also decided that I should have a CafePress store so we can all have "YarnEnvy" T-shirts. Would you like a T-Shirt with a Devil Sheep on it? It might be hard to explain to the straights.
As pondered yesterday, I took inventory of my WIPs and stash. I have 6 WIPs (4 sweaters, 1 shawl and 1 sock) and 3 projects-in-waiting (all sweaters). That's pretty bad (for me) but it's ok. The sock is the second sock, and the Cabaret Raglan is going quickly, and the Cap-Sleeved Top is just that, cap-sleeved, so I don't have to do sleeves. I just won't buy any more yarn until next year. I'm already planning the things I want to buy at next year's Stitches. Surely I can find something to do with something from Habu; they were fabulous, interesting, and my favorite...unique. I also need some of that Cestari wool - lovely, and maybe I'll finally break down and spend $20 on a pair of Koigu socks. I know they'd be worth it, but I just hate wearing socks so much, I wish I could think of something else to make that wouldn't cost $150. It's like my mouth waters to touch more yarn - I crave it. Now that I'm rested, I want to go back. But you can never go back. Especially since they've changed the location for next year.
[Oh, isn't that cute? The women's soccer team is singing the National Anthem at the top of their lungs. At least they know the words. I'm always a little bit embarrassed when someone doesn't.]
I got a little bit done on the Cabaret Raglan front today; I'm about a ball and a half in. I better get those extra balls ordered. Since it's such a small order, I can get the shipping for $3, so that's not so bad, I suppose. I've spent the whole night working on DevilSheep; now I'll go try to work on the shawl. I need to get enough done to be worth photographing.
I'm very glad it's Friday. It's been a long, long week.

It *has* been a long week. I've worked harder this week than I have in a long time. Only one more day of work left though. I like the devil sheep. It looks complacently evil. Don't ask me what that means.
Yeah, Teri, you're right. He says "Don't hate me because I'm evil. It's not my fault."
