Bran wanted to make a necklace for his teacher, so I was picking up some beads at Michaels this week, and I made my usual sweep of the yarn section. A number of yarns were on sale, but nothing outrageous, or so I thought. Then I spied the sign in front of the Patons SWS - 2 for $3! I did a double-take to make sure I was seeing it correctly, and then proceeded to look through the color options and place 12 skeins of black and 12 of natural plum into my cart.
I considered SWS for the Tilted Duster when the pattern first came out, but didn't want to shell out the $60 that it would have cost at the time. Now I have more than enough yarn for the sweater (I'll use the black), and it only cost $18! I also used SWS for a felted bowl last year, and it felted beautifully, so I can imagine making a few felted purses or bowls for gifts out of the natural plum if it doesn't end up in sweater form as well.
I am learning a program of cabaret songs right now, including "Falling in Love Again." When G makes fun of my weakness for yarn sales, I just smile and sing "I can't help it."
