I have problems. I like to knit. I like new yarn. I like new projects....and I kinda like instant gratification with my projects. I recently started a new project. One of my friends is having a baby, their baby shower is this month. I went online and looked up where they were registered and what they wanted. While my mom and I were looking at the lists I saw that they wanted Baby Mittens and a Baby Hat...."I COULD KNIT THOSE!" I exclaimed with glee, and that night we went yarn shopping.
I love yarn shopping, just standing in the aisles looking and stroking the yarn.
My mom was like "You like all this yarn but what would you do with it?" *I stroke more yarn* "I don't know, I rarely have plans for it. You just kinda have to hold it, and stroke it, and listen to it. The yarn speaks to you. " I say with a silly smile. She just laughs at me. So we left the store with a single skein of Bernat Softee Baby 100% acrylic, light yarn, in Mint. I think I wanna go buy more cause it was SUPER soft!(This is where some of my problems lie...I just like the yarn too much) If I were really ambitious(and could make myself finish the second sock I'm working on) I'd buy more and make socks out of them!
There was also a little bear cartoon on the paper around the yarn, and next to it said 'Ellie the bear.' The only significance this has is that these people are going to name their baby Eleanor and call her Ellie :)
