Saturday was a lovely day. Hubby had to go to work, so I planned out a wonderful day for myself while he was away. In the morning I went running in Fairmount Park with the Philly Runners and went to the coffee shop with the group after my 8.5 miles and had a cup of hot cocoa and caught up with some friends.
Then I spent the afternoon at my favorite yarn shop Slip Knot working at the large back table on my Mary Jane baby socks. And of course, I no sooner made the resolution to shop from my stash than I found this:
Artful Yarns Cliche
A cotton/linen/acrylic blend in this stunning green.
And, what? It's on sale!? Seven skeins later and I had made my first yarn purchase of the year.
I even had a project picked out for it before I even left the store:
Lotus Blossom Tank by Sahron Shoji
From the Best of Interweave Knits Book
I will probably knit it with some modifications as laid out by Lickety Knit to increase the length of the tank and make the bust shaping more flattering.
Of course this is more of a summer/spring project, so this will not ruin my resolution to finish what is already on my needles.
My husband stared in disbelief when I came home with my spoils and just said, "But, we have so much yarn already." Exactly.

Clearly your husband has not yet learned that yarn purchases and the size of one's stash are not in any way related. ;-)
Sounds like such a fun day....
I called this morning to find out more info about that "Knitting Getaway". I will email you and let you know what I hear.
