Hooray for Antique Malls!

Hip Hip Hooray for Bedford Antique Mall in Carlisle. They have been my savior because apparently there is a man who deals in mannequins of all sorts. After calling numerous consignment shops I found a lady who was nice enough to fill me in on the above information. I quickly showered, dressed, grabbed my keys and my dog (she loves car rides) and ran out the door! Off to Carlisle I said! I arrived and lo and behold all this amazing antique stuff! I found my mannequin man and upon finding him I found the perfect dress form and for only $42!! (I know I'm using a lot of exclamation points but I'm really excited)
Here is a picture of it in its new home with a scarf!

Day where nothing works!

I'm still recovering from my ultra-annoying illness that caused me to miss the PSU game in person. Unfortunately it is affecting my knitting abilities too! I'm trying to make an adorable little beret with this lovely yarn http://www.oneplanetyarnandfiber.com/PhotoDetails.asp?ShowDESC=N&ProductCode=SSP1-G152Lilac and I just can't seem to get it right. It kills me that I haven't been able to knit something for 4 days now and I'm not trying to make it FIVE!
I'm also on the hunt for a pinable dress form (preferably cheap) but in decent condition. Off to the consignment and thrift shops I go!
On the other hand I recently purchased Malabrigo Chunky in Mariposa and am anxiously awaiting its arrival!
Well, off to rest and maybe not mess up casting on once again (for the fifth time) !
