Temptation!

So this is what happens. I will be idly reading a knitting blog and someone will mention a pattern that he or she is madly in love with and dying to knit. Simply out of curiosity I will google that pattern and eyeball the picture. Sometimes (rarely) I think, nice, but not my style. Sometimes (even more rarely) I think, ew and I am momentarily safe. Mostly I think, oooooh aaaaaah and make plans to knit it. Which, naturally means buying the right yarn and acquiring the pattern and... and...

You think I would be safe at a knit-up-yer-stash blog.

Har har.

So I was idly reading our little blog here, and Rycraft started talking about Raspy, which I then googled. And googled. And ogled. And ooogled. And found nice yarn for here. And found the pattern book here.

I have not succumbed. I will not succumb. Although I notice that someone else is also having Elann-induced heart failure (which I've now caught) for the Elann version of Fixation because I've been thinking of designing a cute little summer tank based on the Zaftig pattern at Knitty, to console me for the absolute failure of the Ribbon X-back earlier this summer, and I need me a Fixation Fix.

I am not going to succumb. Raspy will wait. Zaftig will wait. So will I. Solidarity.
