Gasp! It's true. It hasn't happened to me in such a very long time because I usually over buy so that exact thing doesn't happen. But in this situation, with making Mom's wrap from left overs from a different project that I over bought on, I guess it's understandable. Still, I thought I had enough to complete the project. Turns out, I didn't. So there was yarn shopping this morning.
I went to my favorite store because I was certain that they would have what I needed. I was actually a little bit heartbroken that they didn't. Not only didn't they have the color, but they didn't even carry the kind of yarn. I think I stared at the section where it should have been for like three minutes before I could convince myself it wasn't there. Then, I walked up and down the aisle twice to make sure it wasn't somehow somewhere else. Fortunately, there was another craft store in the same plaza. I headed over there, half convinced that they wouldn't have it either and I'd have to go all the way down to the other store. I sighed in blessed relief when the second store had it. They only had two colors, but one of them was the one that I needed. I was hoping to pick up some more for Sis's afghan, too, but the other color was not her color. For 60 seconds, I contemplated heading down to the third store, but I just didn't want to. I had what I needed, so I checked out and came home.
I really didn't want to go out at all this morning but because I needed the yarn and had to stop at the bank, I made myself. Fortunately, all the snow from yesterday had been cleared off the roads and though it was a bit wet and some parts were just a tiny bit slippery and the traction control in my car turned on, it was mostly smooth sailing.
Now, I'm home again and I will put something interesting on the telly and finish Mom's wrap. And then, because it's Saturday, I'll take a nap.
