There are sooo many choices!!!! Today I went to JoAnn's to find some yarn to knit a chevron afghan. There are just too many yarn options. Teal, navy, brown, cream, pinks, yellow, etc. Oh and don't get me started on variegated yarn!!!
One particular skein that I was absolutely smitten with was white with teal and navy and khaki. I picked up two large skeins and then opted for two large khaki-ish skeins. I needed a third option.....I picked white. After putting these items in my basket, I found size 11 circular needles.
As I stood there with my overflowing basket o'yarn and needles, I did the math and nearly passed-out. Wow-zahs........
I, then, walked back to the yarn aisle and put back my pretty variegated yarn. I put back the khaki/taupe, and the white yarn. 25% off was not enough of a sale. {Sigh.} I did keep the needles because had a coupon for 50% off a regular priced item.
Several minutes later ~ after a meander through the fabric ~ I found myself back in the yarn aisle. I found myself picking up two olive skeins and two light teal skeins...both to make cowl scarves for upcoming birthdays.
I know I said no more cowl scarves. Drat!!! Silly New Year's resolution!!! I am breaking my resolution. January 10th......broken resolution. This, yes, THIS is why I don't make resolutions. {Shoulder shrug.} Buying the pretty yarn gave me a yarn-buying-quasi-craft-high. Resolution-schmezolution!!!!
