Massive Knitting Update
So unless you are a knitter yourself, or will listen to me anyway (like ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
skywalker363, who might just listen to me read the phone book, he is that sappy) you may want to disregard this particular posting. It's slightly yarn obsessed.
So, on the needles at the moment:
I also fell down and went boom in a major way. As I said in the last post, I have been listening to the Lime and Violet podcast. They are enablers of the worst kind. I went to The Loopy Ewe, a site they basically advertise (as in they gush about it all the time) and bought 2 skeins of Cherry Tree Hill sock yarn. Because, of course, sock yarn doesn't count as stash! And then I went to Knitpicks and bought most of the sock yarn that has been sitting in my cart there, because all of their hand dyed sock yarn colors are going away. And I wanted them, so very much. So I think I will be making a lot of socks for a while... And before this falling down, my LYS had a sale. This is not safe for my credit card. Because I think I may have bought everyone's holiday present yarn, and yarn for a cardigan for me. So I fell down. And made a big boom.
So that's the end of the massive knitting post. I will update on birthday events, and other events in my life soon.
