anxious, fidgity

Well it's July 3. I have signed up for 3 swaps for the summer. I have received the infor for the Summer Stash and well on the way of pulling that together. Now I have to wait 2 more days for the other 2 swaps to send me the info. I keep checking my email and pages to see if they perchance did it early. I am so eager/anxious to get this underway, figuring out what to knit or buy is killing me, cause I dont want to do anything until I get the info for the Swapee(? real word, who cares).

ANybody else ever feel like this. The swaps should be so much fun, but the waiting is killing me....

Oh and I talked to my Mom last night, she will be starting her Summer travel adventure to Arkansas via Salt Lake City and Oklahoma and I have nicely requested with a re-imbursement option, that if she sees any Knit/yarn stores that look unique and interesting or have a distinct local flavor to get me something(min 400yds). Her and Glenn(DH) travel the back roads everywhere possible, so should be interesting. Even left it open to what to pick up as far as yarn(natural fibers only though) and after I explained roving to her, and that that would be ok too. Don't know how to spin yet, but its on my list of things to learn.

She will enjoy the shopping and can't wait to see what arrives. Love my Mom and she shops well adn finds the neatest stuff when she has a mission. Thanks in advance Mom.

Still anxious and fidgity want to go to the LYS, but will wait until Thursday and I have my Swap info... 2 days is a long time isn't it.... Help me....

edit PS. Mom looked at my blog and said I have more pics of yarn than my kids, maybe this is a problem... and the yarn porn thing fell short on the explanation.....

How does a yarn swap work? And do you have some white vinegar and Vitamin E oil for that evil sunburn?

stash swap, find misc items in you stash including notions, needles etc fun stuff. Try and make it match the swapee as well as you can and have fun. Ship by date and wait for yours to show up as well. Surprise packages, treasure boxes... anticipation is so much fun. And using Aloe and A super vit E lotion.

I'm the same way about the swaps- I LOVE putting them together and shopping with just that person in mind. :)
