Yarn Diet? Not!


With all the current emphasis on stash dieting in blogland these days, any normal person would be embarrassed to admit on January 3 that her grotesquely swollen stash had grown but I'm not exactly normal. So, it is not without pride that I mention that yarn arrived at my office today. And if my darn camera phone would work, you'd see a photo of it. Maybe next time. No, wait, here are the photos from the eBay listings - I hope the seller will forgive me. S/he gave such great service I'll definitely be buying from him/her again. I won the auction on the 31st and on the 3rd they're on my desk. You can't really ask for better service than that


The deep red and purple is a bulky weight that will become a CIC sweater. This pink and purple yarn will be CIC socks. Some little Russian girls are going to be very happy that I have no resolve at all.



And, by the way, here's what one quiz thinks about me. Actually, I hate espresso. I like a little coffee with my cream, and usually drink two cups a day of (I'm almost embarrassed to tell you this but I will anyway - don't hate me) Folgers coffee with Vanilla flavored creamer. When I go to Starbucks, which is any time my yarn habit leaves me with cash in my wallet, I'm a Venti White Chocolate Mocha type of gal.

You Are an Espresso

At your best, you are: straight shooting, ambitious, and energetic

At your worst, you are: anxious and high strung

You drink coffee when: anytime you're not sleeping

Your caffeine addiction level: high

Thanks, yourself, Julie. Stash sale? You mean there's more yarn I could buy? No, don't tell me.
