Some people have problems with alcohol, some with cigarettes, some with other drugs, some with chocolate (I'm working on a pretty unhealthy relationship here too), mine is yarn. And not just any kind of yarn, particularly sock yarn. The above photo illustrates what happens when Blue Moon offers a 10% off coupon to someone like me. That there my friends is $45 of savings in yarn. And its all sock yarn. And its not like I don't already have an overflowing storage area filled with sock yarn, because I do. The only meager defense I have for myself, and this is pretty poor, is the two hanks of pink yarn on the top aren't mine. They are Arctic Knitter's, she forgot to include them when she used her 10% off coupon. And its not like Blue Moon doesn't offer other yarns besides sock yarns, because they do. They have many varieties of gorgeous wonderful yarns in amazing colors! What happened is this, I got overwhelmed. I spent days, literally, trying to figure out how and on what to use my 10% off coupon. I was down to the wire using this thing. I looked at all kinds of patterns, I have a couple ideas floating around in my head of sweaters I'd like to knit. But then I couldn't decide and I couldn't decide and then I started to panic because the expiration of the coupon was near. So, in a flurry on the last day I pulled out all my sock books, of which I have many, and looked to see how much yarn would be needed to knit particular pairs and then just went crazy with colorways and ended up with $45 dollars in savings on sock yarn and only sock yarn. I wonder if AA has a program for folks like me...
P.S. Dave took the "Which European City Do You Belong In" quiz and he belongs in Paris. He'll be able to hang out with our friend Wade who belongs there too. But, Dave likes Dublin and I like Paris so we've decided that if we aren't meant to live in the same city we can at least visit each other.
