Bad influence
My friend Gina has blogged about her neverending stash enhancement. I was feeling pretty good about my big plastic storage box half full of yarn until I saw Gina's stash...which takes up pretty much an entire room. I swear I am not making this up. I am but a mere peon next to the Queen of Yarn Acquisition.
Fortunately for her, she's very good at scoping out good deals on yarn, especially on eBay. It's gotten to the point now that if I am looking for a particular yarn, I just ask Gina to tell me where to buy it online. She always finds the best prices--and usually manages to find free shipping, too.
So you can imagine my annoyance this morning when I read her latest e-mail to our local knitting group. Not only does she say that she found an eBay store that sells Rowan Kidsilk Haze (a yarn we were all drooling over at last night's knit-together) for a measly $11/ball, but she also mentions that the vendor--who is located in the UK--offers free shipping. I visited the website, and as I clicked through several of the links I found myself growing increasingly peeved at Gina because I kept finding more and more yarn I wanted to get.
Gina, you are a very, very bad person.
(Um, let me know the next time you want to get something from KnitPicks so we can combine our orders and get the free shipping, okay?)

What's sad is that it's now spilled over onto my dining-room table, much to Todd's dismay.
And I am about to buy more. I know! I want to get that huge Plymouth Italian Fingerpaints wool felting yarn in those pastel colors to make a rug for the bathroom. (This yarn is discontinured and I found an ebay store selling it for less than 1/2 price!) And I HAVE to get my hands on some of that KidSilk Haze. I mean, really. Is NOT getting some even an option? I don't think so.
Oh and then there's the Schaefer Elaine that I want in the Eleanor Roosevelt color scheme. I already got some in Louisa May Alcott....
DON'T HIT! I BRUISE LIKE A PEACH!
