As I had a little time to kill this morning I wandered over to Hobby Lobby to see about finding a replacement for my long lost cable needle. I bought a package of three, one of which is about a size 8 and is perfect for the scarf I am working on as I am using size 8 for it.
I also accidentally bought a few skeins of yarn while I was there, one of which is the same as the scarf so I can make a matching hat.

These things happen, I am sure you will recover:muah:
I don’t have Hobby lobby here, but Michael’s sometimes pulls me into it’s clutches. It’s right by Target. Darn people that figure out my 2 bad places to spend money put them right together:zombie:
Yeah I know how those accidents happen. Honestly, I was only going to look at yarn for dd’s xmas and bday presents. I have know idea how $80 worth of yarn ended up in my hands. But since it obviously needed a home I brought it to mine. I think that may need more than a few hours of knitting to make it right again!
Boy do I miss Hobby Lobby!
Well, to try to make things right, I thought I would go to a nice estate sale. Poor woman died before she could knit all her yarn.:pout:I walked out $130 later with the friends of the lady saying I was her reincarnation. Maybe… who knows… (except that I’m 30 and she just died this year) of course not to make light of a fellow knitter passing, just thought it was cute
Strangely enough, the same thing happened to me today. On my way to a doctor’s appointment, I strangely wound up in a Michael’s. HOW did that happen? When I got home, there was wool for two projects in my hand. Is this a ‘missing time’ episode? Maybe Mulder can help me.
BTW, they were unpacking all the new yarn for fall/winter. Wonderful, and the prices better than at the LYS I had visited earlier.
We all must have that problem. We feel sorry for the yarn just sitting there alone. And we know if we buy it, our stash’s will give it a great home![/COLOR][/B]
I went to JoAnn’s yesterday to buy some replacement buttons for my dh’s jacket.
I was supposed to just run in and run out.
I had milk in the car. I got the buttons and went directly to the paltry yarn department (this is a small town JoAnn’s). They had their Sensations yarn (wool/cotton blend) on clearance for $1.97! Well, I had to buy it.
It would have been wrong to leave it there.
It looked so sad all squished together in a bottom bin covered in dust bunnies.
My good deed of the day…
