Operation Yarn Diet has failed.

April 28th, 2004 10 comments

I went into the yarn store to get a row counter, since I keep losing mine (this makes three, thank goodness they’re cheap) and I made the mistake of browsing the discount bin.

They had two balls of Crystal Palace Deco-Ribbon in color 117, blue and white on sale for 20% off.

I could probably have resisted if I didn’t already know about a handbag pattern that called for exactly two balls of Deco-Ribbon. So then I was able to visualize exactly what I could make with it (assuming I didn’t go the scarf route and pair it with something flashy). Next thing you know, I’m at the counter being rung up.

Moral of the story: If you’re a yarn addict, just don’t go into the yarn store, idjit! Jeez!
