We all know that so much of what happens around here is someone else’s fault. I never mind giving blame where blame is due.
I had seen Miss Babs‘ newsletter that Yowza was going up in price on December 1 but hey . . I don’t need any more yarn so I wasn’t going to even look at the website. Then Denise started telling me how much she loves Yowza, how much she likes her sweater made with Yowza, how she dreams about Yowza every night. OK . . she didn’t say that last thing, but it did cause me to go look at Yowza and you know what happened then.
I had been looking at Aileas an it would work with Yowza so I ordered enough to make the cardigan.
Yowza – Georgia Clay
Rusty brown isn’t even a great color for me but I love it and since Vince lived in Georgia for many years, he’s always talking about the Georgia clay.
Then, I had been looking at the pattern, The Sky at Night. While we were talking, Denise told me she had just cast on for The Sky at Night. That was a sign . . I needed to buy the pattern. Some of the yarn I ordered yesterday will work for this one.
Maybe I shouldn’t declare victory quite yet . . but I do think that’s the last of the yarn buying for this year.

We were just being smart shoppers — stocking up before the price increase. Although you left out the part that you ordered it before I even had a chance to answer a question about it you had emailed me. 😉

Nelle Coursey says
I like that color for you! It will be very pretty on you.
Susan says
It is a pretty color, so I think that was a good deal before the price went up. =)

That may not be a fave color but, I think, it is a color that will look very well on you! I will have to admit, though, that it is definitely a favorite of mine! Will be anxiously awaiting progress reports on this one!!!!!

Beautiful color. Most of the time I think it is smart to buy when you know something is going up. Back when stamps were a set price they were going up 2cents. A co-worker hurried to the post office and bought 50 ct. roll. The when they went up she had to go back and buy 50 two cent stamps.

Probably 4 or 5 years ago, or maybe more, I bought a bunch of “Forever” stamps. They’re still good after the price goes up. Considering how little we mail envelopes, I think Chad will inherit all the postage stamps they’ll ever need.

Usually after you blame Denise I end up blaming you for falling down the same rabbit hole. I had managed to avoid Miss Babs website until this posting. I had 9 skeins in my cart – fortunately we had to leave for a dr appt before I could check out. By the time I got home I had come to my senses and managed to empty the cart without buying a thing. I know I’m going to regret it at some point but I’m really trying to use what I have or only buy what I need for a specific project. That doesn’t always work but at least it did this time:)
