on a rainy wet cold nasty day, jackie recommends...

...expensive yarn!!! today i bought one skein of yarn (300 yards) to make a wrap to wear to a wedding in sweden in may, where i fear it may be cold, but where i still want to look cool and springy. i spent more money on a single skein of yarn than i ever have before or probably ever will again. this is the trap--i filled my frequent buyer's card at my LYS, and that meant $25 off my next purchase. at first, i was like--wow--that's like a whole hat and sweater set for a baby! and then i thought--OR... i COULD buy this $96-dollar skein of yarn i have been drooling on for two months instead... for ONLY $71. hmmmm... guess which won? this is prism's cool stuff yarn in tea rose, and i am in love with it! to the point that i have temporarily revoked my self-imposed no-more-fuzzy-novelty-yarn-ever-again rule and will now go knit something loose and lacey on HUGE needles for ME!!! this stuff is like a pile of cotton candy--whoo hoo!
