Broken promises: New yarn

I hope you all had a Happy Halloween and a good weekend.


I did, I spent it with friends up the coast.  It was just lovely. The boys stayed home and hung out with their pals and had a good time of their own. A win was even a win at the soccer match on Saturday (Yay!)

I managed to knit a bit here and there. These are all friends that are used to me carrying about bags of yarn and knitting everywhere with them. A few even knit a bit, quite well. They are just not insane about it like me. heh.

We went into town on the last day and we split up walking and I started getting a flurry of texts:

"yarn shop!!"


When I made my way over, they were all pointing and waving me in. It was a pleasant find.




There was a 20% off sale, so despite my commitment to not buy anymore yarn this year ...


I bought 3 skeins of Madelinetosh Merino in Earl Grey.

Trick or treat ;)

  11. There is no way you could have passed up that yarn especially at 20% off. Besides trip yarn doesn't count against your stash.
    Hugs,
