crochet, m&m's and the dark side
those things are pure evil and i have 2 large bags stashed away in my kitchen. why? two words. limited edition. i love dark chocolate and i love m&m's, so when they paired the two for a star wars promotion i had to have them. a batch of dark chocolate m&m cookies are on my 'to do' list this week.
another element of the dark side. crochet. this little square has been keeping me up at night. taunting me, reminding me that i no longer remember how to crochet even though i took a class last summer. isn't it sweet? can't you just see several of those worked into a lovely shawl? so can i, and that is the problem. i want it. so the crochet hooks are out here at the good to be girl household. i am gasping in horror with you. may the force be with me (so lame, sorry!).
now, i have exactly 5 days to finish another nantasket basket for mother's day. no worries here. i am on it.
i am using the woolpak in off white (this one felts) and patons wool in an olive green. these colors were specifically requested by my mom. should be a quick knit.
i also bought some lorna's laces this weekend. the colorway (sand ridge) reminded me of the ocean. i couldn't resist. i think this will be a pair of socks, but i have not decided for sure.
i also have 2 more on their way to me from knit happens in their own colorway. thanks to cathi for pointing it out!
and finally, i was secret pal to the very cool thuy over at good clean fun. i have enjoyed reading her blog and sending her goodies over the past few months. hi thuy!

Ah yes, food of the gods! Dark chocolate..mmmmm dark chocolaaaate... Love those Dark Side m&m's. Plowed through two bags. Must. Get. More.
I agree, the m&m's sound very de-lish! and i'm going to be a dork & say that i like the colors they come in, too. btw, amy, can you e-mail me, or post a comment on my blog, with the details for the knitting group you told me about...2nd Tues. of the month at 3rd place books? thx.
email is seaturtles2001 at yahoo.com
thx again
How did I miss dark chocolate M & M's? I am so sorry - perhaps because I didn't pay any attention to the star wars thingy. . . I think the crocheted flower is darling btw - I also like yours "grass"!
Mmmmm...chocolate! And I, like Denise, love the colors too! Looks like some of the Noro Silk I have. :)
Crochet, 'eh? Haven't you heard that you can only knit or crochet??? (that's what I keep telling myself since my great-grandmother could never teach me more than making a chain in over 15 years of trying!!!)
:)
It's all circular- Stacey told me about your blog, who is the one that I originally learned of the Lorna's (someone sent her some a while ago), and then I told you about it. :)
I have to get some of those M&Ms- I love dark choc too. Have you seen the dark Crunch bars? I want to try those as well.
You're not the only one with Star Wars fever! Though I can't say I've ever like dark chocolate all that much unless it's paired with coconut.
Good luck with the crochet attempt! I'm sure you'll master it in no time.
thank you thank you thank you for being such a wonderful secret pal. i have loved everything you sent and all of the care and thought behind it. and i love your blog! it's going onto my blogroll right now. thank you so much again! mm- i love the mint m&ms that only come out at christmas. divine!
Hi Amy! Wow, I have not seen those M&Ms... I think I need some of those very soon... they look amazing!
Ah, crochet! I have to learn this once and for all. I just love the look of that little flower! Good luck remembering it all :)
Take care,
Lolly
Lucky in yarn and chocolate! I'm jealous! Just a FYI, I had to change my blog name due to a copyright issue and I see that you have me in your blog lists(thank you!!! I love being linked!!!) would you be able to change my name on your list? It was Knit Happens and now it is Drop Stitch Knitter - all that changed is the name and for the full story, you can catch that on my blog! Thanks again and sorry for the trouble.
