After having a really good year of self control with yarn purchases, I’ve fallen off the wagon.

I just found out that Noro has sock yarn now.  $50 gone.

Which just being in the presence of Noro means I have to buy some Kureyon.

And not just a skein or two.  No.  I have to buy enough to make a sweater.  $100.  And then enough in another color to make a cable scarf.  $30.   Oh and while I’m Ebay’ing yarn, why not see if there are pattern books out there I must have. 

I mean – while I’m blowing money like it grows on trees, why not spend even more.

$11 an hour at my job.  Sure, I can just work like…uhm… four extra days this week to cover the spree. 

What do you suppose triggered my lapse in restraint?

I blame the weather.   Even though knitting has been causing some pain in my hands, just bring on the snow and all I want to do is work the sticks.

Well – the sticks, make chili and watch movies. 

Anyway.  I mention my fiber weakness to you, my friends.  Those who understand that when the passion, the urge to buy hits – you must answer the call. 

The car payment can just be late already.
