Note to self: I will not buy any yarn until the January sales



What is it about being a yarn addict? I am happily knitting the Gypsy shawl with a pile of luscious Koigu, I have more yarn than I know what to do with but I am still thinking about popping into Peter Jones on the way to work to see what yarns they have.

I'm playing nursemaid this morning to Rob, who is ill in bed with a bad cold. This also means that I can have a guilt-free few hours knitting. The gym can wait and I placed a big order with Amazon for some Christmas presents yesterday.



My '52 bus project' is an iPod cover. I'm using the Colinette Point Five with a size 4 crochet hook, which is producing an 'interesting' result. The yarn is very loosely spun so the crochet hook keeps poking through the yarn rather than the stitch.

beth from big geek, I totally agree with you about buying yarn. I really don't need anymore but I sure do WANT some more! I am waiting for the January sale to come too. My favorite yarn shop has rowan and they sometimes go to up to 30% off on all yarn in stock. Say it with me now: WHOOOO HOOOOO!!! I LOVE your cushion by the way, I can't wait to see it all done!

I love the Colinette. One of these days I'm going to buy myself some...everytime I go to a yarn store that carries Point 5 I pick it up and carry it around while I look at other yarns, then I always end up buying something else. I also have more yarn than I can ever knit through.
