I've been a bad girl

Why is Paypal so damn easy to use? It gives me the feeling that everything is free. I don't even have to go get my purse and type in my card info. It's just all there are my finger tips. PAY NOW. It's that simple. I see pretty yarn.. PAY NOW. I find another much needed wanted sock club.. PAY NOW. Shazzam, it's paid for! It hurts so good, ya know? Since you've probably guessed already.. I did indeed buy more sock yarn. Not only that but I also joined more clubs. I will just go ahead and get this out of the way now. It's like ripping off a Band-aid.

I'll start my confession yarn pushing with...

Black Rainbow from Perchance To Knit. It is ridiculously cool. I had never seen a colorway like this before...

Koi In A Blender from the Tempted sock club at Loops. The bright blue with bits of orange and white are great. Perfect name for the yarn...

Nouveau Bleu from Yarn Ahoy. Honestly one of the squishiest (is that a word?) sock yarns I have felt. It has a loose twist so it won't make the sturdiest of socks.. but who cares...

Berry Pop from Yarn Ahoy. The colors of her yarn are crazy beautiful. I have two more skeins in different colorways headed my way as I type. Don't judge!...

Spectrum from ShiBui. This crazy color combo will be stockinette socks for sure...

And last but not least I give you Orange Crush from MySmallWonders...

Bad bad bad. I'm slapping my own hand. I would like to blame it all on Ravelry, Etsy and Paypal. Thank you for understanding.

But wait.. just when you thought that I was only a lousy cook and a compulsive sock yarn buyer...

Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. I am a knitter. I'll make it one better. I used sock yarn! It's the Misty Garden Scarf from Scarf Style. I'm knitting it in STR Silkie Walking On The Wild Tide. It's a Christmas gift for my MIL. So at least there is a tad bit of knitting going on around here. I desperately want to start some socks but I can't pick a yarn.

The more I think about it the more I am blaming another new purchase for all my yarn buying. It's Ruby I tell ya!!...

Here she is by my other excuse for a yarn buying machine. She is big and beautiful and RED (my favorite color). I love her dearly. But you can see how looking at Ravelry, Etsy and pretty much anything else is sooo much better since I got her. I will travel with the tiny one, since Ruby weights about a ton and needs a suitcase as a laptop bag. But let me tell you how much my online retail world has been transformed. I mean geez, how great is this?...

We like to sit on the couch together.. sit up in bed and watch TV.. sit by the pool.. it's just me and her. Aww. And another thing about Ruby is that she is a sock club enabler! She whispers all the new ones in my ear and then uses her Jedi mind control to get me to hit that damn PAY NOW button!  I know I said I would elaborate on sock clubs in this post but just thinking about all of the ones I'm in makes me feel a little dizzy. The count at the moment stands at 9. Hand me a cool washcloth.

Love all that new yarn especially the Black Rainbow. And that new computer is super cool. The red is the best. I am sure your MIL is going to love the scarf. It is looking very pretty.

Now all you need is a sock knitting fairy!

I have the same problem with Paypal too. To me, it makes my money feel like Monopoly money...not real! :)

I made a pact with myself to not buy any new yarn till my current yarn was used up..... and I bought a ton this weekend. I'm not addict...
