Detoxification or the calm before the storm?

I have to create a distance to the two faces from the last post.
But what is there to do? I haven't been knitting for two days now. Haven't been touching my knitting needles even.. Seriously, I feel the need to release tension. Im a junkie.
As a result, there is no progress (you would have guessed that far!) what leads to no pictures. I don't even have the time to dig in my archive to come up with something funny, obscure, somehow worth to be shared.
Well, I should come to the point. I would like to thank you all for the suggestions on my 'pad' problem - I especially liked the one that had to do with buying new yarn. I seriously intend to do so. ;-) But first, I got mail. A friend from Germany send me my share of a yarn order at Mariannes Opal-Wolle (international shipping, Paypal, extreeeemly nice contact - do I have to say more?). Both skeins are from Opal (hence the name 'Mariannes' Opal-Wolle!) and I will show pictures later. In fact, I can give you this, taken by professionals and not in my dim living room.
