Big surprise: I BOUGHT YARN (post election pick-me-up):<\/p>\n

\"MALABRIGO<\/a> \"MALABRIGO<\/a><\/p>\n

Why yes, that is Malabrigo sock! And it is just as luscious and edible as you would think! It is awesome. The gray one on the right is actually a little more purple than my monitor shows.<\/p>\n

With this purchase (from The Loopy Ewe<\/a>), I finally joined the Loopy Groupies, as this was my sixth time buying from them. I got a tote bag, a very lovely sock pattern<\/a>, and a skein of Araucania Ranco Multy (!). I knew you got the tote bag and I wasn’t really expecting anything else, so that was a nice surprise, especially since I love love love Araucania.<\/p>\n

See? It’s so pretty!:<\/p>\n

\"Araucania<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyway, last but not least, here is the yarn I have bought recently but didn’t show because… Well, I have a lot of yarn, and God knows I don’t need any more, and sometimes it seems all I do is BUY YARN and not do anything with it.<\/p>\n

The thing is, I will shortly be ending my stay in Geezerville, and my income will be focused on paying a mortgage (!) so I guess I am kind of storing up for being poor again. Next year will definitely be year of the stash! I won’t have quite as money to spend willy nilly on the wants, since I’ll have to, like, buy groceries and pay for cable*.<\/p>\n

I’m excited, though – the place I’m buying has enough room for a crafting\/art studio.\u00a0 I’m really looking forward to getting all my stuff out of storage and my big drawing pads and getting all my furniture back, and buying a washer and dryer (!)… In short I will finally have my own place!<\/p>\n

Now I need to get back to writing on my Nanowrimo story – the election really stressed me out and now I’m behind. But! it’s still going strong – I wrote over 4,000 words yesterday, and plan to do the same today.<\/p>\n

*not a want, that’s a need<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
