Is that not what the day after super Tuesday should be called? I like it. It makes me giggle. Yes, I’m easily amused.

The above is just a sampling of the yarn I have acquired this past month. Can you say crazy lady with a fiber fancy. The last of the to good to pass up local yarn sales happens tomorrow,( Colorful Stitches, the idea of scoring last seasons Rowan colors at 50% off is just to much for this wanna be Rowanette to handle) then I’m claiming no more yarn.

First there was the Wonderful Things sale where all was 40% off. Then the Warm Ewe had their sale. Most of the store was 20% with a bit of the selection up to 50% off. Then there was the initiation of Tina to Webs. Then, well does there really need to be another then? Please no more thens. Forget about last nights purchase during the sneak up at the Loopy Ewe - that totally doesn’t count.

For once it all was planned purchases, and most (notice I did not say all) has been acquired for a specific project. The webs trip did put a couple of wayward skeins into the stash. But now, when I look at it all, (because most of it has not been put away because it’s waiting to be photographed for Ravelry) I shudder a bit.

Sometimes it’s a happy shudder, oooh (in super high squeak), look at all the pretties. Let me just give a quick smoosh to my new smooshies (Smooshy is my new favorite sock yarn). Then other times it’s an oh my shudder. As in, Oh my, look at all that yarn. All. that. yarn. Am I really going to photograph it all and add it to my stash page? Should I not just put it all away and get the bags out of the living room? Then there is still at least one more type of shudder. The oooh, (lower, with more of a w sound at the end) that skein is so calling my name. Must start a new project now. No, I can’t. Yes you can. No I can’t, I really can’t. I have crazy mass quantities on the needles now - I must finish something. Oooh, what am I going to start first? Maybe I’ll start two, one big and one little project.

Yes, it’s a bit crazy in my head.

Now for the letter “B”. Not only have I been buying a bit of yarn but I’ve also been on a crazy button binge. Try as I might, I could not get a good, decent shot of them, so I’m going with my original one which was blue and brown. My new favorite colors together.

This picture was taking a couple of weeks ago, but boy is it deceiving. It looks like a beautiful here comes spring soon day. Look at that sky! But it was not, it was like less than zero out there.
