A Winner! A Winner!
The votes have been tallied and we have a winner!
*drumroll*
The winner of the popular vote (by a landslide) is…
‘Exhibit A’ (for want of a better name…or we could rename them ‘little flowers’…?)
*the crowd goes wild*
The final tally, for the curious few, was 16 votes for ‘little flowers’ and 6 votes for…well, the other one. I ordered three ‘little flowers’ earlier tonight from The Button Drawer – a website I found through Deb aka Chappy’s Mom. Thanks Deb!
However, immediately after placing my order and going to their home page to…well, to see if there were any more buttons I could order…I saw this:
Note: Due to year end inventory reconciliation, order shipments may be delayed.
Also during the period from 1/6/2005 thru 1/13/2005 our web
site was unavailable due to technical difficulties. We apologize for
any inconvenience this may have caused.
Okay everyone say it with me, “SH*TBALLS!” Delayed?! There cannot be a delay! This is the Olympics fer crissakes!!! Just my flippin’ luck. Hopefully I get them before the 26th of February and they aren’t sold out/backordered/lost at the back of a drawer/etc.
I did get my yarn which, if I do say so myself, looks pretty good. The grey is going to be the body of the sweater and the red will be the pattern.
Let me know what you think!
Now I just have to receive my Addi’s which I ordered yesterday from Yarnworld on Ebay (who has GREAT prices, btw) and then I can do the swatch thang ;o)
I’m really looking forward to this. Even if I don’t finish this project within the 16 day time limit I’ll have a pretty bitchin’ sweater. (I’m pretty sure I can/will finish – I may lose my job from knitting under my desk…but I’ll finish!)
Yeah, I said ‘bitchin’. ;o) I blame Nessie.
