Ok I shouldnt’ say that but its true. I hate not shopping and my birthday is coming up. I spend hours and hours surfing for what I am not allowed to purchase for myself. Yesterday I was saved from some wine colored merino laceweight thanks to Angela having just sent me some cormo, cashmere, alpaca laceweight. Still shopping is on my mind. Even tho I am also busily working on Reef and the New England Socks. Reef for when Nece is asleep and Socks when she is awake. Works for me. See that yarn? I was gifted with that lovely Koigu over a year ago and have been thinking of making these. I am also in sockathon mode having vowed to knit myself 7, yes 7 pairs, of socks. Don’t keel over laughing yet you guys. I have managed to turn the heel of the socks I am working. Only 1/28th done with my annual goal! I decided to break down and pick up some patterns and some dark green or even better aubergine solid koigu to coordinate with the above. Since I have lost the tag o so many moons ago the picture and this post is to help the boys See what a helpful shopper I am? OK I am making excuses and justifying but darnit Lint SUX
