Yaaarn. Mmmmm.

I'm afraid that I am fast becoming a yarn addict. I have this, that I bought at home:



Please note that it isn't actually half Lion Brand Suede. It just looks like it is.

Last Friday, at The Yarn Garden, I purchased this:


I also have six 100g skeins of sage green Galway wool waiting for me in the post office. And today I had to try very, very hard to restrain myself from buying nearly everything here. Especially this gorgeous purply-orange variegated worsted weight wool... it was amazing. And, if you bought the lot of ten, it was $2.50 per skein. The lace weight wool was also mesmerizing. But I've spent something like $110.00 on yarn and needles in the last couple weeks, so I have to stop now. For a while, at least. I know that this is only the beginning of a real stash, but I am a poor college student and do not have money to spend on lots and lots of yarn. But I wish I did.

I've also become kind of a yarn snob. I bought a bunch of acrylic and polyester stuff (see the note above on Lion Brand Suede) when I first started knitting because it was on sale at Ocean State Job Lot, and now I don't even want to use it. Ick.

Right now I am knitting Claire a hat with recycled silk. It's just a plain stockinette roll-brim deal because the yarn is so interesting on its own.
