Y-A-R-N is a four letter word

I was driving over to Michelle's house last night for some knitting time, when something caught my eye. Aurora Yarn Supply is an LYS over by her, and its business sign simply says "YARN." Which is just about when I realized that YARN is a four letter word for me. It's dirty, alluring, and irresistable.

Shall we talk about my inability to resist the call of the four letter word? Fortunately, the aforementioned LYS was closed when I drove by, but I made time to visit one of my favorites, Colorful Yarns on Friday. Tiffany, the owner, always runs monthly specials... which makes it very difficult to stay on any sort of yarn diet.



on the right: Chartreuse and purple classic AL by Elsbeth Lavold. I bought 4 skeins in the green, 6 skeins in purple. Phoenix yarn by SWTC (2 skeins) and a loverly skein of cherry tree hill superwash sock yarn. It was ALL on sale, ok? On the left we've got my books...two from Amazon.com.

After buying the stash supplement, I headed over to Monkey Bean to meet Wanda and Michelle. I love this coffee shop, except for the lighting (makes it very difficult to show off yarn).



What have I been KNITTING?
here we've got two baby sweaters. the one on the right is the pullover from Weekend Knits, in sugarplum cottonease. I need to do the dreaded sleeves still. The one on the left is the chunky baby cardigan from Simple Knits for Cherished Babies (Erika Knight) made with the Classic AL.



also, the progress on spork.


that's it for me. Another big test (my comprehensives that i need to pass to graduate) on Saturday.
