I was busy admiring the Highland Wool, when I saw the Rowanspun (emerald!) — then I saw the lovely Jo Sharp DK! Better and better!

Do you shop for yarn alone? Or do you say you do it to be social?

Do you say you can quit buying it anytime you want?

Do you excuse your impulsive buying habits with phrases like, “It was on sale,” “the store was going out of business,” “I’m at least 10% sure I need it to finish a project and 6% sure it’s in the same color family and nobody will notice the dye lot discrepancy,” “it was for a friend” or “I’ve only bought 14 skeins toda—this we—this … hell, at least I’m not a SMOKER!”

Enjoying the blog. Envious as I work with a bunch of acrylic I have to use up before I can buy any real yarn.

I can’t sneak anything (yarn or otherwise) past the wifey either. I’m barely successful getting her presents purchased/made at holidays and birthdays, and she usually has a suspicion anyway.

I’m *so very envious* of your visit to Webs. I’ve always wanted to go there.

The spouses always notice more than we give them credit for. Even when the packages are intercepted by me (DH usually gets home before me), he knows, he just knows. He has “yarndar” or something.

I looove that Rowan. Have you checked out the beautiful sunrise jacket by Kate Gilbert (free pattern at Interwearve Knits site). It might look great with that yarn! Has that nice asymmetrical look of the sweater you posted!

Thanx for the sock praise ;-).

That yarn? Totally worth whatever you have to do to make it up to the wife.

Oh my, what a day … I’m dieing of stash envy. But then, I’m running out of hiding places myself.

I have a huge weakness for big cones of cheap yarn, and Rowan 4-ply, and um, pretty much all yarn on sale - I would’ve done the same thing!

I will sacrifice my own space and take some of your stash if you need. See how nice I am to take some of your stash just to help you out? My stash is no longer a secret either. I must develop a plan.

Definitely hug-level.

So you told me about the highland tweed (should I really not tell you that 2 lbs is enough for a sweater, even for a curvy girl? Probably not.). You didn’t mention the Rowan. Or the Jo Sharp. I know how that goes, you have my sympahty. Lately it’s the Noro closeouts that are killing me.

It was great to see you–we should have linked arms and strolled. It was a lovely, leafy, spring day!
