I totally broke my yarn buying hiatus. In my defense, it really didn't count. I was spending my gift certificate to my LYS I walked around and around....and around and around and around..that store for a long time. I really love it in there. So many wonderful yarns! Finally I settled on some Rowan Cocoon in a pretty not quite slate blue. When I saw the price, I was all O.O! But then I remembered I was spending gift money and that if ever there were a time to splurge it would be then. So I got it and it will, eventually. be a scarf for me, probably knitted on over sized needles and in some sort of lacy, openwork pattern in order for the fabulous yarn to stretch that much further.
Sis and I spent some quality yarn time together yesterday. I taught her a new pattern and then once she was comfortable enough that I didn't have to watch her every second (she gets paranoid she's doing something wrong) I got my own work out. I dropped the f bomb a lot, because apparently I forgot how to count, but it was a good time. Sis is very entertaining, even when she doesn't mean to be!
But tonight? Tonight I'm taking a break from all things yarn because the voices (oh good Lord, the voices) have been quite raucous. If I don't get them down on the page, they will be insufferable, and I need the rest of the weekend to finish (I hope!) C-Lou's afghan.
Wish me luck. But only the good kind, please.
