Apparently, I have some expensive taste in yarn. I've added to my stash recently and it's cost me a bit I must say. But I save for it...I just can't imagine shopping for yarn at wal Mart and unless it's a gift, I don't own any acrylic. Alpaca, merino, silk blends, even mink are in my stash now. I also have those fibers in my fiber stash to spin myself. I feel bad because I'm sure some people in my boat (that of financial instability) probably don't waste their money on 30 dollar skeins of yarn. But that is how I splurge. That's how I treat myself and spoil myself. I could use a good pedicure, but I can put a good skein of yarn to better use!
Friday the 30th was a fun day for my husband and me. We spent the day with our moms visiting thrift stores - a thing my mom and i do a lot, but that his mom now that she is retired wanted to try! we hit several stores and found some very nice things for a lot of folks in the family for general purposes and holiday gifts, some holiday decorations for my husband and my new house and one very special item i could NOT pass up. i saw it wrapped around the shoulders of a dress hanging on a door. the dress was black and it was white...it popped beautifully and had nice drape...i reached up to feel it...mohair! i love mohair! it felt...no, it couldn't be! on closer inspection i knew it was a hand knit shawl and a beauty at that! i took it down knowing i was buying it and wondering who i might have to convince to lend me money if i couldn't afford it. this is such a beautiful pattern! i read the tag...3.99!!! i could afford this all on my own and afford it i did! it ...
