I fell off the Yarn Diet Bandwagon

[princsstrish]

Well, I've been on a yarn diet, swearing to myself that I wouldn't buy any more yarn until my weight got down below 200. I've been good for MONTHS!!!!

 

Well, i had a dr's appt today in hyannis and that is where all of our stores are. I had to go to Trader Joe's and well, Joann's is right next door. So i stopped in, fully intending just to look. I really wanted to see the Rainbow Boucle. well, Here's what I bought.

 

7 skeins of TLC in a pretty pink and purple and white variegated - clearance $2/skein

5 skeins of TLC Essentials in Cranberry - clearance $2/skein

1 skein of the black and white Rainbow Boucle

2 Steel hooks

 

Grrrr...It's ok though cuz it all fit in my bins. I guess I've been using up stash all along.

 

But yep, I officially fell.....

It's okay! You've been being careful for a LONG time, it's okay to indulge once in awhile in moderation!

Ok, the holiday season is coming, and if you are like most of us, you will be doing some gifting with crocheted items. The yarn in your current stash is not sufficient for said gifts. Therefore, yarn purchases are necessary in order to have the right gift at hand when the times comes.

 

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

You are in good company:hook

 

I just started to crochet, but I am used to buying a looooot of yarn to knit:yay

 

Now, I have a good excuse to buy even more, because I am starting to crochet:clap

 

My man knows I get really happy when I am buying yarn and starting new projects, and that helps too:manyheart
