Yesterday, I took some time between work and fun to head over to the Lamb Shoppe, a lovely, well-organized, very friendly yarn store for some dpns (double-pointed needles for the uninitiated). I'm working on my very first sweater, and am almost done with the body, and didn't own #8 dpns with which to knit the sleeves. Of course, I brought the husband with me since we were on our way to dinner, and he didn't want to sit in the car. We went in, I headed right for the needles, intending an in-and-out stop. I did stop to fondle and ogle some yarns, and kind of went over the basics for Ray since he was interested in what you do with different weights/styles/fibers of yarn. Anyway, by the register was a basket containing some balls of gorgeous Louisa Harding Kimono Angora. Four balls, from the same dye lot, and 40% off.
And Ray told me to just buy them. So I did, disregarding my original plans to completely destash before I buy new yarn.
I'm a freaking yarn addict.
And now I have an enabler.

What a good sport to listen to the nuances of yarn, and ask questions to boot!
I tried to knit once. I ended up shooting myself in the head.
See, there's your problem - last time I used a gun to knit I shot myself in the foot! :P
I can't crochet. I make big complicated knots. Which I then throw away.
