Why I buy

It always feels like I have really good reasons (not excuses, but reasons) for buying yarn. So good reasons in fact that I’m willing to share them.

Thursday was my last day at school, after dancing around in my apartment I went to town to get a couple of small things (a set of 3.5mm bamboo needles and a new piercing).
The first stop was at Tjorven Garn, a shop I love. Unfortunatly they were sold out of their 3.5mm needles, so I had to go along. Then I rememberd the pattern for a crochet shopping bag in knit.1. So I got the cotton for that.

Reason: A reusable shopping bag saves the enviorment (remember that I’m a hippie) and one should support LYS’s

Next up was Scorpius for a cheap re-opening of my nose piercing. That went fine, when I stopped bleeding.
While sitting there, holding a tissue to my nose to catch the blood I noticed something strange….

Reason: I’ve been lusting after sari silk yarn for years. Just finding it there was too much, and too cheap, not to come home with me.

Lastly:
I had to get the needles, but realised I could pick them up as I went home. At Strikkedilla, next door to the train station.
Where I realised they had this sock yarn

Reason: Duh! It’s the Summer of Socks, and I have projects planned.
