So last weekend I went to Wild Fiber in Santa Monica. It was my second time. I will have to unearth my camera and show you some pics of what I got. Let me just say for the record:

yarn stores are dangerous

Very. Very. Dangerous

First time out I got 2 balls of Rowan Cashsoft DK in a very pale pink and a very pale purple. I also got Knitted Embellishments and a teeny set of size 3 dpns. I spent $60ish. It made me giddy. Like the time I had some wierd desert cocktail and by the time the waitress brought it the kids were fussy so I had to down it in 4 great big sips and by the time I made it to the car the world was a happy place. (sidenote: what a cocktail!! it was called Like Strawberries for Chocolate, and I simply did not taste the alochol. I felt it though hehehe)I giggled every time I peeked in my little purple bag.

Then last weekend I went back for more Cashsoft. I am using it for my TKGA MK swatches and I didn't realize that several of the squares had to be the same color. So I got 1 more of each and threw in a contrasting green color but I think it might be too pale. Oh yeah and I skien of Socks That Rock from Blue Mountail Fiber Arts in the Jewel of the Nile colorway. I was going to make my next pair of socks for my sister out of some sock yarn I got online, Filatura Cervina Calzetteria. But I am too damn greedy, I must have a pair of short socks in this gorgeous jewel toned sock yarn. Even if they are small, its just so pretty. I left on a high again. If I am not careful, I am going to become a junky.

This is me, "Come on, man, you gotta just give me one more skien..." either that or I will start hitting the ladies at my guild meeting up, "ooh, let me touch it..." no, I already do that! Crud.

I will say one thing: the colors about blew my mind. I am used to "slave"mart acrylics and such-- the colors pale, literally, in comparison.
