You know, whenever I start to feel bad about spending my discretionary income on knitting stuff, I just remember that there are people in this world who actually sign up for a lottery just for the privilege of dropping $300 for eight skeins of sock wool. And wow, next to them I feel downright thrifty!
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

Oh my goodness… I honestly thought that was a joke :S Is that yarn REALLY that good??
It’s no joke. LIke Kris, I often feel a pang of …something… when I go to get a ball out of my yarn stash. Let’s call it embarrassment. And sometimes people say things on Rav that bring it home to me that I do have a lot more discretionary sending than a lot of other people. But nearly $40 a ball… I’m not in that race!
