My eye caught a Stella McCartney sweater that I thought was interesting...it was around $1800.00. I can't remember exactly how much it cost but I know I felt nauseous by the price tag. So I figured the smart thing for a knitter to do is to take photos on her phone and see if she can lovingly copy it and make it her very own! So I'll be knitting some swatches in the next couple of days to figure it out. I'll most likely knit it out of Berroco's Pure Merino or Tahki's Zara Plus. And save myself $1600.00. Speaking of saving money...
Julie's Squeeze made us a reservation at the Marriott Renaissance across the street for Saturday night (Which is a comfy and nice hotel). When the bill slipped under the door in the morning, we realized that the rate for the night was $39.00!!!!!!!!! He gets some special rate since he works for Va Tech. From now on, he's making my reservations! In fact, I think I want him to be my boyfriend too! (Kidding, Honey Bunches O'Oats!) High Five! I also bought myself a purse (an Orla Kiely)...and some True Religion jeans that give me some desperately needed junk in the trunk. Pictures of my loot tomorrow!
I'll leave you with a photo of me in my new jeans...
