I think I may have finally achieved a state of yarn nirvana. Or not. But after going over my budget and paying off bills and putting away that tax refund I decided to treat myself to some yarn- I hadn't made a large purchase in some time.

I searched online, looked for sales & specials, went over my Ravelry queue to see what I 'needed' to buy, and came up with nothing. Really, nothing moved me. I did have a Wollmeise moment: there was a shop update on Saturday, and I picked out the lace that I wanted, but by the time I got to the last setion of the checkout it was sold (to someone with faster fingers). I think the inventory sold out in, like, 20 minutes. Wasn't meant to be, and I wasn't bothered at all. In fact, it got me thinking about dyeing the laceweight from Knitpicks that has been sitting in my stash for months.

So the money set aside for yarn? I donated it.

In other news, I finally got that annoying tooth pulled. After weeks of trying to get it taken care of. And I think I have phantom tooth pain (or is it dry socket?). There's a dull ache that feels like the problem tooth, only there's nothing there. Not serious pain, but still. Annoying. I'll swing by the dentist before work tomorrow & check it out.

I took a crappy photo of my latest finished project, but I think I should wait and take a better photo. My swollen face is covered, but the scarf itself is cute. Feh. Here it is. Four skeins of Noro Kureyon, in three colorways. None of which I can recall- I'll look it up later and add it to my Ravelry page. I love it. It is long enough, wide enough, and doggone it, I really like it.

Now I'm working on a solid-color sock. I love variegated sock yarn, but they don't show patterns very well in my opinion. I picked up a tomato red skein of Berrocco (gah! man-made fiber!!) and started the Monkey sock, but I'm not really feeling it. I need to find something else. Maybe something lacy?

Wow. I'm pretty wordy at 3am.

Love the scarf. I finally pulled mine out again, in the hopes that maybe I'll get to wear it before spring?

So nice to see a post from you. We still need to book a playdate for us and the kiddies. What's March like for you?
