New Year's Resolution Update

I broke the “knit from the stash” resolution. Three times. It started out innocently; I went to a store to buy some blue Lamb’s Bride Bulky to finish the rainbow bag I am making. They didn’t have any bulky, but they had worsted in a blue color. Even though I don’t really like the blue they had I bought it and some sock yarn-after all sock yarn is always allowed. That add to the stash purchase one. Add to the stash purchase three also started out innocently, since I didn’t like that blue, I decided to see if another local store had a better blue. They didn’t but they had these incredibly beautiful, hand painted skeins-expensive hanks-very expensive hand painted hanks. So I had to buy two. And a fun scarf yarn and two eyelash yarns that were on sale. All in all it added up to add to the stash purchase number two. All I can say to explain add to the stash purchase number three is this addiction is a disease. I had yarn on the mind and I realized that the yarn I bought for the hoodie came in two huge hanks that needed to be winded into balls. It would take forever using the hang on the chair method and I would be busy when I retired. Much to busy for that. So I ordered a knitting swift (I blame Wendy of Wendy Knits) and a ball winder and some cotton yarn. And I still want some Lamb’s Pride Bulky, since I am out of money I need to wait.

I have kept the no booze resolution, even through a party we hosted, two dinners out, and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. I do miss it a little.
