Finally Found it!!!!

A LYS! an actual LYS!! I met this lady once outside the doctor's office, she was crocheting something and I intrigued as always sat next to her and started to ask her questions about her crocheting, we ended up her teaching me how to crochet and in the process telling me where she buys her yarn, I told her of my disappointment due to the lack of LYSs where I could buy the real stuff and not acrylic yarn. Well to my surprise such a place exists somewhere in the bad parts of town, I wrote down the name and asked for specific directions, she gave 'em to me and I vowed to one day on my own little self wander around those parts of town and see if I could find it. Anywho time passed by and I had forgotten about that place until this semester when choosing which hospital to go to for the Internal Medicine Internship, I chose one that is located in that part of town where the alleged LYS is supposed to be, and so again I vowed to one day after noon when i've left the hospital I could wander around. Well last night, my dad decided he wanted to eat out and so invited me and my mom to go to our version of "China Town" and as we are driving around "China Town"(which is nothing like China Town in the US or anywhere else) there it was!!! on the same street "China Town" is located, in a corner! With a painting of a ball of yarn as a logo and the name of the LYS Siragusa. It was obviously closed because of the hour, but I'm definitely going there sometime this week! Finally found the LYS! Praise God!
Well thats all for now...

Bluegrass



Something cute a special someone pointed me to.

Lyrics
If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, let the cold winds blow

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.
If you were the love, I'd be the desire.
If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float.

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

Neverending Lace

So the Lace Scarf has taken more than I thought it would only because the princess, my sister, wants it longer. It measures right now 57.5, even though the pattern calls for just 30 something inches, I just got tired of knitting and have been doing at leas 2 to 3 pattern repeats a day...
