Bought more yarn....

I had told myself that I wouldn't buy any yarn until I do an inventory of my stash. Well I started doing just that but got stopped by these little voices screaming "Knit Me", "No, knit ME", "You have enough of US to knit a blankie". They were right, Sophie could use a new blankie. The silly pup, likes to arrange her blankie in a little nest, which involves digging, and pulling on her blankie. Of course that results in stitches being pulled, and her blankie looking like this.....
I decided to listen to my "talking yarn" and knit her a new blankie. Of course, that led to me thinking of buying new yarn to fill the gap left by the used yarn. So off I go surfing the net for new yarn ( Are you kidding, going out with all that slippery snow on the roads!). Since I was quite happy with my Apple Laine (see post below), I decided to get some more.
I got "Purple Haze HP Lite" , "Garden Party Apple Pie Yarn" which for some reason the pic is gone, and in Claudia, "Ink".
The moral of this story: Listening to talking yarn can be costly!

sophie is the luckiest doggie in the world to have you knit her so many blankies. I'm off to brave the snow to Romni's myself...I'm exchanging my leftover yarn! hurray! because it means i get new yarn without spending more $$. See, too much yarn is never a bad thing ;)
