Light up rainbow color poi
Dec. 30th, 2005 10:13 amI just remembered that I ordered some illuminated poi from Home of Poi earlier this week. Sometimes having a bad memory like mine is fun - super surprises happen all the time! So at any rate, I'm having them shipped to Jon's office because I'm already having the Denise needles shipped here, and I'm not really supposed to get personal deliveries at work at all. I didn't want to have the poi shipped to the house because I don't think the package would fit in the mailbox and I don't want it sitting out on the porch in the snow all afternoon or something... or even stuck between the doors, if it would fit, just doesn't make me comfortable.
They are not only illuminated, they cycle through all the colors of the rainbow, not just one steady color. ^_^ Twee! Pretty excited.

*GASP* Omigod I'm so freaking stoked!!!
Dec. 30th, 2005 02:04 pmHah! Whee! I had my Denise needles shipped to my work so I'd be sure to get them. I got the call from the mailroom this morning - "Delivery for you from Copper Moose...?" Omigod that's the seller from ebay holycrap that was fast omigod why doesn't the elevator go faster so I can get them already?!!! I am super pleased and amazed at the great shipping time on this sale, BTW, and it was FREE priority mail shipping! I ordered on Tuesday and got them on Friday. Wow.
I was just too excited to wait, so I had to open them up and take a look right here in my office. They are gorgeous. Smooth, light, the cords are really nice and flexible, and it all comes in a little fold up "book" shaped thing that is much smaller and compact than I had anticipated. Super cool!!
Went home for lunch and I just had to cast on and knit a few stitches to see how they felt. A-maz-ing. So smooth, so light, so quick! Seriously, I can't figure out why, but they are way better than the circs I already have. I think the cords are slipperier. I've decided to use some of the Wool-Ease I have sitting around to make Coronet, now that I have the right cable lengths... now that I have like ALL cable lengths! ^_^ I am going to use the Dark Rose Heather color, because I only have that and black and I don't think black would show the cables very well. If you scroll down on that Wool-Ease page you can see it (#620-139). (It's prettier in person though.)
So I guess that's my big plan for New Year's Eve - sit around and knit with glee. Gosh I'm such a dork. But I'm happy!
