Well, after N began using her market bag and getting all sort of neat comments about it, little M decided that she needed one–top priority! I’ve been working on a pink one in Plymouth Fantasy Naturale #9992 to suit her princess personality. Photos should be up tomorrow, as I’m expecting it to be finished then. (So is M.)
This pic shows the Plymouth Yarn version.

Nothing like a little sibling rivalry to re-prioritize your knitting agenda!
I am in love. True love. It’s okay–even though I am a married woman. You see, I am in love with a skein of yarn. Not just any yarn, mind you. The Most Beautiful Yarn in the World.
I saw this yarn a month or so ago at a cute little yarn shop where my friend Kari and I took a sock class. Just looking at it is like beholding a work of art. Seriously. Gorgeous.
No. I’m not selling it to anyone. Indeed, I am not even sharing the location of this fabulous fiber, because I don’t want anyone else to buy it either. You can’t buy it. Please don’t buy it.
See, I cannot buy it. I just cannot. It is Not In Our Budget. Truly, it’s outrageously priced, but it’s also outrageously beautiful yarn (can you hear the rationalization?). So I have exercised self-control, even to the extent of telling my husband how much the yarn costs. Naturally, the amazing specimen has now become contraband. No way is it coming into my house now, baby.
But I do go and visit it from time to time. Really, I mean it. It’s still there on the shelf, waiting for me. Last time I was there I took a picture to share it with you.
I told you so.
Yarn rookie that I am, I didn’t even write down the name from the tag to share it with you. I’ll get it on my next visit and let you know then.
Oh yes, and I’ve resisted the urge to hide the poor thing on the bottom of the stack toward the back of the shelf so someone with a champagne budget couldn’t have it either. I mean this yarn deserves to be knitted into something beautiful.
But for now, I still have my visits to look forward to. *Sigh*
What the Craft?!
