So this has been bothering me for 2 days
So yesterday I went to the Suss sale that I told you about last week. (I hope you went 'cause it was fabulous. But, if you didn't, you can join me for the next one. You know I'll be there! ) When I was there I saw my favorite yarn. I heart this yarn. Its red, its pin
k, its purple, its bulky, its hand dyed, its 100% wool...I mean, it just makes me happy. And, at the sale was the very last skein. So, of course I bought it.
And then...
I couldn't remember what I did with all the other skeins I bought. I mean, I remembered buying them. I remembered where I bought them, when I bought them, how much they originally retailed for and how much I paid. But, for the life of me I couldn't remember what I made. This was really bothering me...not like I couldn't sleep Saturday night (I mean, we're not talking about solving the world hunger situation) but I'm just that girl who can recall incredibly useless information like that so I felt like I was loosing my super power.
Ug.
That was yesterday
morning. Finally, about 15 minutes ago, it hit me! I saw a laptop bag in Alterknits (pg. 61 for those of you who might happen to own it) that looked super cute and something, at the time a super-exciting selling point, I could actually make. This was the first felting project to which I committed time and resources. Previously I had used wool that had been gifted to me so I didn't really care if the projects worked...which of course meant they did...this was a leap of faith using my favorite yarn ever.
I know, as usual, my fine photo skilz don't quite do it justice, but it is super cute live and in person.
Situation resolved. Maybe I should think about world hunger. If I figured out the yarn issue, maybe I could make a dent.

I love that yarn - is it Malabrigo? I absolutely love Malabrigo; so soft, so yummy, wonderful colors!
BTW, nice to meet another knitting person here in So. Cal.!!!
The pleasure is mine. Welcome aboard!
Ya know, I don't *think* its Malabrigo as everything at Suss' "yard sale" was her own brand. And, I don't remember a brand name on the yarn when I bought it at her store the first time.
I know, that was incredibly helpful information.
