Comforting Yarn
When times are tough you can always count on a nice, cozy shipment of yarn to make you feel just a little bit better.
I went a little crazy on e-bay over the weekend and fed into my Noro temptation. I started to become obsessed with Kochoran and decided I needed some. I was shocked when I saw how expensive it is. So I decided to try a pattern that doesn’t call for very much of it. That would be,Gesta from CTH2. I can’t wait to start knitting with it! sooo pretty and sooooo soft.
I also decided to knit Karlsro from CTH1. So I bought some more ebay noro. Actually, there’s a little story behind this acquisition. I bid on this yarn and it sat there for 2 days, with no one bidding against it. I kept checking on it the day that the auction ended, to make sure I wasn’t going to get outbid at the last minute. I went for a run, making sure I would make it home before the auction ended. Unfortunately, I misjudged and the auction had ended and I was outbid at the last minute! I was so mad! I mean, how lame can somebody be? Well, as it turned out, the seller offered me the same deal and I just bought it on the spot without bidding. It was very cool of her to do that 
.
Soooo, when I thought I had lost my bid on the Silk Garden above, I went for a smaller batch of Silk Garden. I will use these for various Christmas presents (that I better get cracking on!)
And finally, Here is the front of Klaralund. I *love* knitting this sweater. I love these colors. As I said before, I am totally mesmerized.
I am feeling slightly better….I am still pissed. But knitting is my solace.
