First, let’s answer the Spring Fling Coffee and Yarn Swap weekly question – We’ll go free form this week – Post about your WIPs, post about your package, post about the weather where you are – just be sure to include that the post is for the Spring Fling Weekly Topic somewhere inside it when you tell us it’s there! I’d love to hear how folks are enjoying the goodies they received, if they have, or how much fun you had shopping for your pal!

Today I whipped up a little something for a friend who is graduating this weekend.  I called him Bob.

He’s almost done.  He just needs to be felted.  He’s from the book 101 Designer One Skein Wonders.  I used what was left of my Malabrigo yarn that was given to me from my lovely Spring Fling Coffee and Yarn swap buddy, Kris.  I used the bulk of the Malabrigo yarn for my Sunday Market Shawl.  It’s so warm and toasty.  And when I was at our knitting group last night, I realized the colors were Mariners colors!  I just have to weave in the ends and it’s all done and wearable!

After work, I headed over to the Farmers Market, with about 30 minutes left before they closed.  So I wasn’t too hopeful that I was going to find anything that I wanted.  I wanted to grab some more mixed greens, hopefully some more ground chicken and perhaps some pasta.  I hit the jackpot!

I got my mixed greens, and a pound of Asparagus Pancetta ravioli and a 4.5 lb roasting chicken.  I spent a bit more than what i wanted to.  But I figure the chicken (which is organic, free range and cost me $19) will be a number of meals.  I can have the roasted chicken breast for dinner, chicken salad or sliced breast for sandwiches and then use what’s left for making soup stock.  The ravioli, was $9.75.  I was hoping to get pumpkin ravioli but they had just sold out and I was happy to see that my second choice was still there.  I had some of it tonight.  It was amazing.

I stopped at my local PCC Market (as it’s just a block or so away from the house) and grabbed a few little things that I needed and when I walked in they were playing AC/DC’s Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.  That almost makes it worth spending a bit more on my groceries
