Porn

ok so I'm f***ing amazing. To celebrate that fact, I went home on Wednesday and bought myself some very pretty yarn. This may seem very decedent but I don't buy amazing new clothes. I don't do drugs and I barely go out with the boys any more. So I went to Abstract Cat which I'd discovered a couple of days previously and I fell. Boy did I fall.

"Undergrowth"


"Murky Deep"


"Vampyre"

"Tempestuous"


"Dark Cherry"
In my defence! I didn't buy this all in one go. I bought 3 on Wednesday.
Then I was checking my shopping details on Friday. I needed to know the length of Vampyre (image 3) so I could work out it if I could knit socks with it. Anyway, I was looking at it and then my eyes caught sight of other stuff (actually image 4 and then 2). Well I couldn't buy 2 sock yarns and no lace weight so I had to buy a sixth (and not added) yarn called Cairngorms. These mountains have a special place in my heart from when I lived in Inverness. (Britswitch knows the effect they had on me). So suddenly I had 6 yarns!!!! Thank the Goddess for Christmas money.
They arrived today so my Yule knitting for ME is sorted. And I'll have very sexy feet. The last four photos are sock yarn and the first image is a lace weight and I'll make a pretty shawl with it. AND I scared my postman when I realised he had packages for me - I knew what they would be.

They're lovely! I'm a yarn fan too, though more from a ready-made garment consumer's perspective, it can make all the difference.

Thanks hun. I had so much fun playing with them when they arrived and had to exercise so much patience not to just cast them on straight away.

I'll post pix when they're all knittedup.

Go Rosie, Go! Laura's a fellow Scot so you'll have plenty to talk about. If it helps, feel free to blame me.

Stop by and let me know what you bought ;)
