50% off yarn? You betcha I'm buying some.

Last Thursday night, I had fun. I had a lot of fun. That picture? That's just some of the fun I had.

One of the women in my knitting group used to run a yarn store. The store is currently in her living room, and needless to say, when we met at her house instead of our usual meeting place ... I barely paid attention to my knitting. I spent about two hours touching, smelling, eying gorgeous yarns of every fiber, weight, color possible.

This picture just shows *half* of what I bought that night. Five other skeins are scattered about my house (and in the case of two, in my car). Here, from left to right there is ... Artyarns Handpaint Stripes in 103, Perla Trendsetter Yarns in Linen (sparkly!), and two skeins of unknown parentage, but they are novelty ... and I'll be using them to give an extra punch to some plain knitting.

I'm incredibly excited about all this new yarn in my life, and have Grand Plans for some of the skeins. Eee!
