Because my "resolution" to not purchase any new yarn untill I finished 17 projects ... lasted until Wednesday. I caved. In a big way. 10 balls of Misti Alpaca Alpaca lace yarn (The entire bag) and 6 hanks of Misti Cotton Silk. In my defense, the lace is for a specific project out of a Gathering of Lace, and the Cotton Silk is for an Hourglass sweater.
When I bought the bag of lace weight, Kathe, Knit Witz's owner said "you know there is alot of yarn in that bag, right?" Yep. 4,370 yards to be exact. The project I am working on reqires 3600 yards: That is 9 balls. I fugured that since I needed the 9 balls anyway, I might as well buy the whole bag. Oh, and the real attraction is the color. It is the same spa blue as the background of the blog.
Christmas weekend is starting off well: we went out to dinner as a family tonight, and had a great time. The food was alright, but our waiter (server) was H.O.T. Hot. I could have eaten HIM up.
You don't need absolution (as if!), you are a beautiful knitter and you shouldn't feel guilty at buying materials for what you're able to create. Silly girl!
