Stash!

Posted on by

I’ve been really good about not buying yarn for a while. My stash is taking over in an embarrassing way, and it’s about time I knit through some of it.

But it’s possible I may have slipped recently.

Stash

First of all, I got some gorgeous sock yarn as a birthday gift. Don’t you just love fellow knitters?

BDay Yarn

The yarn is Louet Gems in Eggplant, and it’s been fondled and petted many times. I think it may be set aside to become my Samhain socks.

I also may have bought something. But it’s not my fault. You wouldn’t be able to resist either.

Bacon yarn!

Not when someone sends you an email about BACON YARN! Yes, it’s yarn that knits up to look like bacon. I wanted to cast on right away, but I’m trying to finish the pair of commuter socks I’m working on now. The progress of which has been slowed by my inability to get a seat on BART.

I have to say, I was so excited–I’ve never ordered from Holiday Yarns before, and I got my bacon yarn so quickly! And, of course, I nomed it.

Bacon yarn. Nom, nom, nom.

    I had to do it. I had to buy bacon yarn. I am envisioning myself with bacon wrapping my head. ;)

    Isn’t it fantastic? I’m going to go with socks, mostly cause I don’t have the patience for scarves most of the time. :)

    Ha! I just need to finish my commuter socks. If only I could get a seat on the train most mornings…sigh.

  • quirkyknitgirl

    Hmm….I will definitely have to think about that! And you have to start thinking about what kind of knitwear you might have a hankering for. ;)

    I know! It’s got magical powers, that bacon yarn. You see it and next thing you know, the credit card is in your hand and you’re wondering what just happened!

    Bacon yarn fumes. Twice as potent as bacon or yarn individually I’m tellin’ ya.

    It’s fantastic yarn, and I can’t wait to start knitting with it–and it got here so fast! You’ve definitely gained an addict–er, fan. :)
