So I was coming home from class yesterday and I stopped in Menlo Park to see if Draeger's had any V-8 in glass bottles (they didn't) (It's for Rob, not me. I wouldn't want anybody to think I drink V-8) and I thought, "Ooh, I can go to the yarn store!" and then the good Kate on the other shoulder said, "No, don't go to the yarn store. You just bought all that yarn at Stitches." The bad Kate said, "Go! You need point protectors and a mohair brush and you want to try to make that cape thing from Stitch&Bitch Nation." The good Kate said, "Dude, you may NOT buy any more yarn until you finish at least one of your current projects. And besides, that cloak looks suspiciously like a poncho, and you wouldn't want to disappoint the Manolo by wearing a poncho." The bad Kate said, "Shut up! It's not a poncho! We're going to the yarn store!"
So I went to the yarn store. Fortunately they didn't have any bulky weight yarn that leapt out at me that wasn't either heinously expensive or alpaca, which would have been too warm. So I spent a whopping 54 cents on point protectors.
While I was there I showed off my Ruffles scarf. One of the women there showed me the variegated brown mohair she'd made HER Ruffles out of. I want it bad. She also showed me her in-progress Backyard Leaves, which was goooorgeous. Maybe I'll try that next.
Here's my Ruffles. The picture is really dark. And it's a lot longer now.
Here's my Midwest Moonlight, too. It's long enough to wrap around my neck. I'm tempted to bind off now, but I must be patient and finish the ball of yarn.

I want it. Who do I have to kill? How much? Tell me. I must have it.

Which one do you want?

Why, the Midwest Moonlight, of course. It would be fabulous on me, I know it. ;) Actually, if you wanted to whip me up a blanket like that... I wouldn't be complaining any...
