The cost of friendship

Isn’t it amazing what we will do for a friend?  One of mine would like a sigma pi hat for her annual auction basket at her son’s fraternity.  We went to pick out yarn today since I don’t have anything in purple and gold (their colors).  We hates it (yes, I have truly become a fiber snob…I won’t even try to hide it any more).  But I’ll do it anyway for a friend.  This hat will be one of my projects while I am with her on a road trip tomorrow to St. Louis.  Why are we going there?  Well…I’ll tell you later.  For now, I thought it might be fun to make this a contest.  The first person that can guess why I am going to St. Louis will win something.  I don’t know what yet, but it will have something to do with fiber (previous knowledge of why I am going automatically disqualifies you…that is about 3 people and I only know of one for sure that reads the blog…ahem…Erica).  Oh, and I promise it won’t be the leftover Caron.  You have until Thursday July 26th, 2007 at noon eastern daylight time.

P.S.  I am almost done with MS3 clue 4…twenty one rows to go.  I may have a picture for tomorrow if I can get it finished in between packing and figuring out the pattern for this hat tonight.
