sock yarn

that is the extent of what i came home with in the yarn department.

i could of bought and bought, but then i knew it would sit too long in the basement and i would forget what i was going to knit with these beauties. yes i'm aware it is a women's prerogative to change her mind whenever and often!

miss babs is the hottest yarn i think on the market right now.

we stood in line for about an hour just to pay!

her colors i just want to bathe in and i love, love her yardage!

finally a dyer has skeins with yardage. 

i have never understood why yarn companies when promoting yarns and say sweater pattern only skein up 110 yards per skein...

what ! that is a lot of work for the knitter to weave all those ends in, 

not too mention it makes the project hard to carry around when trying to grab 10-15 minutes to knit.

i'm always running out of yarn or i'm anxious i will run out.

kinda keeps me out of that zen space knitting is suppose to induce.

ok i promise i am done with RHINEBECK posts.

i kinda dragged it out because i didn't want the trip too be totally over for me.

but i'm done now till my next RHINEBECK excursion.

happy thursday

the weekend will be upon me soon and it is time to finish binding the quilt.
