I send people money and they send me things!

Am wearing skirts #3 and 4 (3 is a petticoat, so goes underneath).  Grown-up bag arrived in mail, is just as I'd hoped.  A little more on the green side of teal than I'd pictured, but lovely nonetheless.  I have moved my things into it.  I still feel a little self-conscious.  Like, the bag makes me feel FANCY, even though it's barely even fancy.  It also came with a shipment of sock yarn in greens & green/gold/browns for the blanket.  I re-calculated the blanket-knitting time, and with the new, smaller gauge garter stitch it will take me more than a year of continuous knitting.  Which means I'm going to try and see if I can manage polyamorous knitting for a while.  (I hear that communication is the key.)
