bottoms up!

I went to my LYS today to pick up stitch holders. While I was there, I was bad and bought yarn for the Bucket Hat knitalong.

So exciting! My first knitalong! And it has more than 80 people participating. It will be fun to see what everyone comes up with. For my yarn, I got GGH Samoa in white and Filatura Di Crosa's Giardino in Orange — which actually looks more red to me.

I'll swatch today while cozied up on the couch watching a movie. It's somewhat chilly and drizzly outside today, so this sounds like the perfect use of my day. I think I'm justified in ignoring homework for the day — at least I will keep telling myself that.
