I officially buy too much yarn.
Reminder to self: go through stash again. SELL A BUNCH OF IT.
Today I got to elann.com in time to get some Jo Sharp Silkroad DK Tweed. There's a cardigan in the Summer 2004 InKnitters that's made with it and I've admired the pattern for some time. When I found out Elann was offering the DK Tweed, it planted the seed in my mind to spoil myself (again) instead of dipping into the stash.
I made an additional yarn purchase today, as well. Totally unplanned, mind you.
Swiftly tilting Planet.
At Borealis Yarns I found Adriafil Planet, which is a fun wool/acrylic/alpaca blend, bulky, that's two strands plied together. In my color, one strand's brown, the other multicolor. I had to get it for a hat and mittens for myself, as the ever-growing scarf being knitted for me (I'm so excited!) will coordinate well. While at Borealis I ran into not one, but two, people I knew, which was groovy. I've been running into people all over lately, and it makes me feel popular. (Though, really, it just means that I've now lived here long enough to be able to run into people when I go out.)
I couldn't leave you with a simple color card to describe my Trekking yarn. I had to take a picture. Lookit how happy it is!
Yarn of joy.
The Scarf Style Knit-Along is growing by leaps and bounds. What fun! Finally, we're getting other-than-Ruffles knitters. Not that there's anything wrong with Ruffles, it's just nice to have some variety going.
