Summer of Stash

Good news and bad news. Bad news first naturally, I fell off the wagon, and in typical fashion, I did it ALL the way. I recently went to Denver for a work trip, and like most places that actually have a winter season (with snow and everything) the yarn stores are plentiful! My intention was to get some yarn for a bridal shower gift for my best friend, knowing full well that just the right yarn is probably lurking at the back of my stash pile as I type, cursing me and whispering naughty things about me to the rest of my neglected yarn. Ah well, I did manage to find some yummy things, and the diet was busted. I'm still completely in support of those who are going strong though, but now even more empathetic to those who've been bitten by the "buy me" yarn bug once again.

Good news...I'm consuming yarn on the other end of the spectrum too, by actually using it. My last FO is a pair of Fetching hand warmers from this Summer's issue of Knitty. I liked knitting these enough to want to make several more pairs, and with just the right yarn, they are a One Skein Wonder.




Happy Knitting everyone!
