This post is supposed to have a little photo of the new book I got today, Tiny Yarn Animals by Tamie Snow (see Roxycraft). I learned of its existence only a few days ago and had decided not to buy it...until the bookstore (which, following the move, is entirely too close to my home) responded in the affirmative when I inquired as to whether or not they might have the book on this, its release day. Silly me, thinking I would be able to resist. Have you seen the lamb? I think I might have to go to her site at some future date and buy the Yeti pattern and/or "Big Beauty." Doesn't someone I know, anyone I know, need a Yeti, or at least a blue monster with a severe underbite?
There's no photo because I got home about two hours later tonight than expected; the power went out in a large area of my general part of the city, and a late-night trip to the store was complicated by my lack of a car and everyone in this general part of the city surging into the same store because it had power. The man in front of me in the check-out line asked me, "Has there been a natural disaster I'm not aware of?" He lives north of the grocery store, the lucky dog. Although by the time I walked the mile home with my five-pound bag of ice and four "D" batteries (they are heavy!), our power was back on, too. Why the power went out tonight and not last night, which was practically the Weather Apocalypse, Chicago-style, for a forever-feeling 20 or 3o minutes, I do not know.
