I never really thought of myself as a Retail Therapy person. When things go wrong or I get stressed, I normally like to hide in a hole. You’d have to practically drag me out of the house. Or so I thought. But then came yesterday, and I’m beginning to wonder if I’ve been lying to myself about my shopping habits. You see, last night at 6:30, I went to the yarn shop and bought yarn. Yarn that I never thought I’d buy, at least never pay full price for. Rowan Kidsilk Haze. I have good reasons. Really.
Reason 1: There’s a bit (a bit, ha! that’s an understatement) of rebellion in me. I had to get this yarn to start knitting Loden Mist from the spring Knitters before everyone else and their sister start knitting it. If everyone else started first, I’d rebel and swear not to knit it just because everyone else was doing it.
Reason(s) 2: (Yes, I’m going to bitch again. I think you all secretly like my bitching so who am I to deny you the pleasure of reading it.) This has not been the best of weeks.
