Angry balls of yarn
Or, things frequently overheard when Rose is oggling new yarns - "#$%^@! f$king superwash merino!!"
v_V Srsly, you would not think it was THIS difficult to get interesting colored NON WOOL sock yarns. Good grief.
I indulged a bit at Simply Socks. Before you ask, no, I don't knit socks. Can't figure out that whole heel turning bit. Also, I get bored doing the same pattern twice. =P I knit dollfie sweaters, which work fabulously in sock yarn on size 0 needles. ^_^
I did find one interesting striping cotton, and then I indulged and gave into the super pretty, even if it is 80% #$%@! superwash f$sking merino #$%@! wool. v_v It was cheap, I don't feel that bad. And then I decided to treat myself to one skein of the fancy stuff (still wool, but only 60%, and there's bamboo in there, which is wunderbar) because really, when you're knitting MSD sized sweaters, one skein goes a LONG way.
And a set of bamboo double points, because bamboo is my friend. ^__^
.....I probably really need to invest in a ball winder. I'm not ready to invest in a swift yet, I have feet for holding skeins with, but a ball winder would be nifty.
