Confession is good for..

Ok,

well let's just be honest.

How many of you can't resist starting

a

NEW

project?

Oh, I read your blogs,

most of you are like me,

some are not.

I can't believe the willpower,

the fortitude,

the organization,

the OCDness,

of some of you who say,

that you finish one project before you start the next.

Really? 

I have at least

twenty seven projects

STARTED

at one time.

I know that I don't have the mittens done yet.

but

in all honesty.

I work on them until my hands cramp,

which is usually about 20 minutes at a time

and

then I switch to something else.

I must say,

they are almost done right now.

About three more

twenty minute sessions,

and they will be complete.

So,

with that in mind...

I started the scarf above!

I could not resist.

I love the pattern,

even though

Jennifer said,

 "It looks like you would be wearing a doily."

I guess I have worn stranger things.

If I like it,

I am heading straight to

some really nice

more $$$

yarn.

I don't treat myself to good yarn very often.

There is a great little yarn shop near here.

Actually two.

I have no idea how,

in a place

twenty miles from a stoplight,

twenty miles from a Walmart

and thirty five miles from a mall.

We ended up with

two yarn shops

across the street from one another,

but we did.

One of them carries

really nice

regular yarns.

A very nice selection, reasonably priced and local.

Not supporting big business,

supporting local small business.

I like that.

The other is a more high end yarn shop.

I touch and feel

and wish I had a skein of each.

However,

if I did,

I would probably be too scared to put a needle or hook

into any of it.

I have limited my purchases there to sale items.

But,

when I do,

it is so nice to work with that yarn.

And I guess,

if you are going to cramp your hands

into an arthritic state,

You probably should do it with good yarn!
