Happy Little Knitter

The New Year entered my world on a cold day yesterday at a mere 15 degrees.

My original plan was to...
 stay snuggled up in my flannel jammies

{the ones with snowflakes all over them}

drink steaming hot tea

watch movies with Hubby

&

Knit

And with that last thought my sanity came back
 full force

and I remembered there was a

BIG SALE

from only 12 to 5

at the

Yarn Shop!

So the jammies were thrown aside

{as was poor Hubby!}

and off I trotted to jockey for position

before things got too picked over.

Whew!

What a madhouse it was.

It is on the same street where I live

{I know ~ Pure Heaven}

It takes me 3 minutes to get there.

And the rest of the day to leave :)

 

I started these fingerless mitts for daughter #1

~Hilary~

before

Christmas

So where is the other one?

It was at the Yarn Shop!

Although this is a 100g hank of

Berroco Vintage

{wonderfully soft and machine washable} 

 with 217 yards,

when I weighed the first mitt

then placed what was left of the yarn on the scale ~

I was 4 grams short!

Oh well....

Who doesn't

Love

 a reason to shop for more

yarn?!

Plus I treated myself to a lovely shade of green in the same yarn

and

3 skeins of

Frog Tree Alpaca

 

Needless to say

I was one

This darling pin was a Christmas gift from Hubby a few years ago.

He knows how to keep me happy too.
