It's Dangerous...
I have a Problem - I am totally addicted to buying yarn. My living room is being taken over by piles of yarn, all of it destined for one project or another, meanwhile I am just plugging away at Dan's sweater unable to use most of it. I take an occasional sweater time-out, but a lot of this yarn is for much larger projects, ones I would never start until I've finished this sweater. And I just bought that Cascade yesterday. But then I was reading through the Knitty forums, and I read about the 20% off sale at KnitHappens, and when I went to the site I found out they had Blue Sky Cotton in chocolate brown. Which was exactly what I wanted yesterday when I went to the knit shop, but they didn't have chocolate brown and their color card indicated that chocolate brown didn't even exist. So I ordered enough for a sweater, and then I got some Lorna's Laces sock yarn, and then I figured I might as well get some DPNs for socks and a few more sizes of 12" Crystal Palace straights because now that I've used them I can't go back to the 18" straights they sell at Wal-Mart.
I've actually spent almost $300 on yarn, needles, and other assorted crafting goodies this weekend. Someone take my credit card away from me.
