Restraint, I lack it.

April 28th, 2009

So I went to The Point closing sale and wow. The place was picked clean! I doubt there will be much of anything left tomorrow to be honest. I totally spent more than I should anyway.

PurchasesSee there’s a book too so I’m not that bad really.  But yes 2 skeins of the orange 2 of the purple, 1 burgundy, and 1 blue purple mix. Most are fingering weight and I was thinking shawl or some other such thing from the orange, gloves maybe from the purple. And a hat possibly from the red.

The book Pretty in Punk, had caught my eye a few times so I was willing to pick it up at 30% off. Couple projects to add to the super queue.

I also got a size 0 40″ bamboo circular that I have already used to redo the cast on and start of a Dalek, (Extermaknit by Penwiper) using Karabella Aurora 4 in black and white for the first one. I may do the red supreme next or switch back to the Tardis.

Organization

So I’ve organized the stash more or less. There are a few balls here and there without a home that are “WIPs” If I had cast on it might be more believable. But here are  some shots of my stash in its neat glory. Can we tell red is one of my favorite colors?

yarnYarn assortmentI really like red, though I have to find a project for the red/black cascade. Or should I say a sweater. I have also organized my tools notions and the like.

notionsNeat and organized.

I’m also planning to break my no yarn buying rule. I made it a few weeks I think but The Point is closing! 30% off everything. I won’t go too crazy….no more than $60? I mean I spent about that much at Knit NY’s moving sale and it was 20% off and their prices were a bit high to begin with.

This is the third closing I’ve been to in way too little time.

Yarn Connection, Knit NY, and now the Point. Though I did miss the Stitches East closing. And I really liked the point, baked goods, awesome people and yarn what’s not to love.
