Knit-Along Week 5

[sharon05676]

Oh my!! You're so ambitious!

I can SO totally relate here! I went wild with the Fab Faux yarn to make 11 scarves as Christmas gifts and then saw some of the cute Christmas decoration ideas, so got some Christmas yarn. Then some of the Really Big. The scarves are done and out of the house, but the Christmas and other stuff is still hanging about, as in January the KAL was announced, and then I ordered the Waverly yarn online. Then I read on the forum that some people were finding it at some stores that I have locally. When my box came I loved it right away so went out and got more (!) to make accent pieces to coordinate with my afghan when it's completed. (Thank goodness I'm getting that knit up!!) But when I did that, I saw the Jessie knit or knot, and got 4 colours of that! (One of those is done already, though). Since then, the Colorama, Mosaic and Satin (from the 2010 KAL) have caught my eye. And of course in February all the season-end sales were on, so I ordered two batches of French luxury yarn to make sweaters for my husband and myself for next fall, and then found some mohair for only .99 a skein, and got that in 2 colours...... My husband has gone to Canadian Tire twice to get me stacking plastic organizers with drawers. It's clear plastic so I can see the yarn colours easily. But now they are full and I have to stop and make up all these projects! The good thing is that I can say that I have 2012 Christmas planned and under control!
