SURPRISE YARN

[afuna]

Eek! I dropped by the yarn store today to pick up some 4.0 and 4.5mm circular needles. I was smug in the knowledge that I wouldn't be buying much of anything else, because I do have a lot of unused yarn in my stash. But I walked in, noticed that the shelves were newly stocked....

Walked out with over 5000 pesos (over 100 USD) worth of stuff.

*facepalm* I never learn (Perhaps I don't want to :-))

ETA: Also, I appear to have forgotten that today is Monday and not Sunday. I meant to do stuff today. Heh.

ETA 2: I can no longer close my yarn bin, even though I moved the two big cheap balls of yarn out. Officially no longer buying yarn until that lid can close on its own (yeah, really!)

I am LOL-ing over this post so much, because it is exactly what I would have done if I had 5k to spend on crafting supplies - which in my case is anything yarn, DMC cross-stitch threads, and Cannon crochet threads.

*eyes her TWO plastic bins + one plastic basket of assorted yarns and crochet threads, and sighs*

But hey, as long as you enjoy the crafting, it's all good. It just means you have to get some projects started to bust that stash! :)

Mmm, yarn! Cannon crochet threads are, at least, pretty cheap! I've been eyeing them (and Anchor) for playing around with.

Your existing yarn stash sounds like it's plenty (and plenty of fun *G*) now, ahahah. <3

I wish I had six arms, and six times the hours in the day :-( That's the only downside

p/s - when you get around to making socks, are you going the circular needles route, or double-pointed needles (aka DPNS)?

Hmmm. How small will they be? I'm fairly comfortable doing small-diameter knitting with circular needles, but it *is* quite a hassle if I'm not building up to something larger. DPNs OTOH are kinad awkward all the way, but less awkard than I thought they'd be. Uhh I suppose I would try with DPNs, assuming I can get some in the proper size.
