Yarn Diet: BUSTED

Today was a FANTASTIC day. I got to work in the AM and was promptly sent home, since the power was going to be out in the building all day. Granted, I was expected to work from my computer at home, but WOO HOO! I was free!

The first thing I did was go to The Knitting Room in San Jose. I NEVER get to go to the LYS, since I get off work @ 6 and they all close at 5:30. Anyhow, I totally broke the yarn diet in celebration. I got: 1 ball of Artful Yarns Broadway in "Unsinkable Molly Brown" [L-O-V-E the name!] for a glittzy scarf, 2 skiens Cascade 220 in a bluish-brown tweed color for a hat and scarf for a certain someone, 1 skien Cascade 220 in beige to complete the Mock Lace Scarf, and 2 balls Crystal Palace Merino Frappe in a dark grape color. I also got three pairs of bamboo needles, sizes 15, 10 1/2, and 8.

Next project? The Spiderweb Capelet from Stitch N' Bitch Nation. Yep, I wimped out on the major yarn purchase for a sweater once again. I mean, it's sort of a sweater, right? It covers your shoulders. Kind of? I am REALLY hoping I get a nice sized gift certificate for Christmas so I have NO excuse to put off Kyoto, Klaralund, Eloise and Belle E. any longer.

Work? Oh yeah. I actually did some of that. Nevermind the Shiner Bock in the background. That's German for 'motivation'.
