My Name is Corinne, and I'm a Caffeine Addict

I bought some new Starbuck's coffee a few days ago. Some exotic blend, one of those limited edition things. It's vile. I tried on two different mornings. I normally have one tiny pot of coffee, and skim milk for latte. This weekend I didn't finish my full "dose". I went on a quest for good coffee. The Starbucks coffee went in the trash. Seriously, it's the worst coffee I've ever had. I would never consider serving it, so in the garbage it went. Replaced it with French Roast from Costco, which is superb. That and the rotesserie chickens are worth the standing in long lines and then bagging your own loose items. I also bought a pound of Dunkin Donuts coffee beans, when I stopped in on my way to Costco for shopping. The coffee there was not very good either, which is usually not the case. I've had a nagging little headache pretty much all weekend from caffeine withdrawal. I had a meeting today where we inventoried the items for the Silent Auction at my fiber event in two weeks. I made some good coffee when I got home! The shawl, pictured right off the needles, is from Wrap Style, the Shetland Triangle by Evelyn Clark. It's a ten stitch repeat, with the yarn overs and decreases stacking on each other, so it's pretty easy to spot a mistake. I'm attempting a Flower Basket, but haven't had as much success. The yarn is Dzined wool/mohair/hemp sportweight, some purchased at Stitches and the yellow from Cathy Montoya. I like this pattern so much I'm doing another in black Blackberry Ridge laceweight.
