Happiness is...

1)  Finding the perfect pattern to selfishly knit a sweater for one's self.  Bonus that said pattern is also available for free!

(Who cares that I spent a small fortune importing six or eight of the patterns now being offered for free, I did not have to buy this one!)

2)  Finding that I had the perfect yarn already in my stash!

Malabrigo Silk Merino in Blackberry.

3)  Getting gauge on the first try!  (Although, I still need to soak the swatch, I am still feeling pretty dog gone confident.)

I am thinking a cocktail may be in order, after all, the husband and I are celebrating our 21st anniversary tomorrow!

Twenty-one years does not call for paper goods or silver, does it?  It definitely sounds like silk and wool...
