Part of finishing projects is that emptieness I’m left with when I only have one substantial project on the needles – a far cry from when I thought the only way to knit was to do one thing at a time – seriously where’s the fun in that!
I found a really cute sweater pattern I wanted to start on, and while I was considering using a yarn from my stash I figured it was a good time to go explore the yarn stores I hadnt been to in a while. I also took the opportunity to bring my daughter who has finally decided that knitting may just be fun after all.
We headed to Yarn it All in North Attleboro, and while I didnt find anything for my sweater pattern I did take advantage of some very awesome yarns that were marked way way down. The Water Garden shrug has me looking at all those funky fibers again with an eye on making another one – so how could I resist:

We decided to head down to Sakonnet Purls. I figured my daughter would find something in the many rooms there that she liked. I love exploring all the rooms of fibers, even I get a bit overwhelmed at times but its just so much fun. They were a great help finding my daughter a book of beginner patterns that she really liked and some bright orange sheep shop yarn, trendy enough to get her even more motivated. Still no luck for me with my pattern but a consult with the staff helped me decide to use what was in my stash already – which of course left me looking just for fun. There it was, not whispering to me, not even calling to me – no it was screaming and shouting, take me home, you must have me. It was one of those times that the yarn just made me happy to look at it, and hold it. The price will remain a secret as it was a full 300 yards, I will only call it overly indulgent and totally fantastic. How can you not just love this!

I have no idea what it will become – ideas are always welcome, but whatever it will be I’m just looking forward to working with it and wearing whatever it becomes.
I am just going to own that I’m a fiberholic – as a matter of fact I’m pretty comfortable with it!
