Crack House
The first time I walked in I heard them coo "it's a crack house; you won't be able to stop". I heard it but I thought, that's silly, no one could be addicted to something like that.
So a week past and there I was with an urge to go to the house. So I went. No problem, a small purchase is necessary. I need it.
Again I heard them purr and coo over the latest shipment. Their favorite supplier was there in the house and was helping them select from the variety of flavors.
2 months pass and hear I am. I have sence gone to the house many times. Today however, having woken up at 2am and written 2 papers (one which was 17 pages long) the need was strong because I was weary and tired and needed a pick-me-up. After all I had just done all of my homework and had my finals (today), I deserved a reward. So I went to the house, and I bought some crack. I purred and I coo'd to.
Plymouth Firenze in Purple.
Cascade 220 in a vibrant dark blue. (felted clogs)
14 Ply Wool Pak pure New Zeland wool. Hand died in dark purples, sage greens and a dark lavender veriated stripes. (Cat bed..)
Cotton classics from Greece. (2 bucket hats, one in yellow, one in aqua)
I am a yarn whore.
I highly Reccomend yarnlady.com as they don't charge shipping! I got some nice turbos for $9. Yes indeed the ones for creating my vera have arrived!
Photos to come when I have more energy.
Projects I now have yarn for:
- Felted Cat Bed
- Buckets-up Hat x's 2
- Felted Clogs
- Vera Tank
- Felted Sophie Bag (50% done)
- Brett's Sweater (35% done)
Also I found a much nicer felted clog pattern pattern I like better then the free knitty one. So thick its like a real shoe!
And I leave you with this:

Heehe! It is addictive, isn't it? The yarn store here only sells fairly basic yarns, good quality but none of those really nice super thick ones or anything like Collinette or Noro. Good in one way I suppose, 'cause if they did sell those yarns, I would be spending far too much money there!! I really like that yarn you have for your bucket hats - do keep us updated with your progress!
I just figured out circulars so a whole new world of knitting as opened up for me hee! *does happy knitting dance* ;)
