to much money..
Well I had knitting class again last night and I spent way to much money on yarn again.
I am disapointed that my size 15 bamboo needles have little slits on the end so I can't use them for eyelash or any special yarns (the whole reason I bought them) and the LYS won't take them back. I found that disapointing. I may write to Crystal Palace and let them know, funny enough another lady who was working with the same novelty yarn had the same exact problem with hers. I noticed only one of my needles in the pair was doing it. She said she thought both of hers where.
So far I love my smaller bamboo ones. Hopefully they won't fall apart. I have spent atleast $50 bucks on needles alone. I have two size 8's, one 7, one 6, one 15, and size 3 and 6 circulars. All these freakin needles!
Last night I bought two really pretty novelty yarns for myself. I think I will keep them in my stash for a while. One of them was just $18 for one skein. I think it's enough to make one scarf. The other was $13 each and I got 2. I'll post pics once I get all that organized.
Also last night the needle holder that I bought on ebay arrived. It was cute the women that made it did a good job and she included really cute little lady bug stich holders. nice and light and cute.
So my teacher says I am doing very well. I am still working on my baby alpaca scarf and last night I *think* I cast on the 170 stiches for my ChicKami. I need to count them when I get home.. then I can start on the bottom ribbing.
So Jesse is mad I spent another $50 and told me I am not allowed to spend anymore on yarn. But I do need to go to the craft store and pick up some cheap 15's so I can make more scarf's with the novelty yarn. No more big bamboo needles for me!
