Every now and again, a bargain comes along that you cant say no to. And it sends you into a little.. well.. frenzy.
I was alerted to the Spotlight sale, where bags of 10 balls of Anchor Magicline were going for just $10. Yup. And this yarn is one of my top three faves of all time. Yup, a simple worsted weight cotton pleases me more than I can say. So off we went, first thing Monday on our way to work.
And we filled the vehicle we were in (a Kluger) full of this. 17 packs.
Now before you get all huffy and get all OMG WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH THAT MUCH YARN YOU SILLY WOMAN, you can just STOP. 5 packs have already left my hands, to go to other people. And the 12 packs left will be shared. Yes. Shared. But it’s cotton. We live in a part of the world where the summer temp reaches Ridiculous Degrees Celsius, so just chill out, ok? It’s more like.. and investment.. Besides, there are actual garment quantities here, not just Dishcloth Amounts.
Ironically, there hasnt been much knitting happening. I have been working pretty much full time, as well as juggling the kids busy lives, as well as trying to schedule as much STUFF to get done within the next few weeks. We are running out of time, and the car needs to be modified, serviced, as well as stuff around the house prepared for it’s new inhabitant!
I think I will cast something on that I can knit when tired (NOT 2ply lace) – perhaps a nice cotton number. Wonder if I have anything that would suit…. ahem
