I thought I had blown one of my goals out of the water…
- Knit/spin from stash (exceptions only when deals are spectacular and/or for souvenirs)
Because I had bought yarn…and then I bought more this past weekend at the Guild meeting, along with some fiber.
However! I parenthetically excepted myself! The yarn and fiber I bought were spectacular deals, and therefore are acceptable.
The Guild was offering more from the accumulated supplies of a deceased member, who left it all to the Guild to dispose of. We have been seeing equipment, books, and fiber for sale/auction every month since September and it has been quite a little fund raiser for the group. I am not sure, but I think there are some knitting books to be offered next month.
This is what I hauled home last weekend…
And also some Tahki Cotton Classic in some neutral colors (that I apparently have deleted the photos of...) (and apparently I cannot be bothered to take additional...)
And some pretty wool/silk roving
(Hmm...this is very interesting...another photo MIA...wonder if I deleted these really really or if I am going to find them stashed in some folder somewhere. I know, I know...I could just run upstairs and take another, but I don't think I will.)
And in another parenthetical exception, from the long weekend trip to Sedona, I scoped out an LYS …so souvenir yarn, which is excepted.
This is worth a photo, I think.
So...still on track with this year's goals...and still buying yarn!

Reading the caption for that last picture (souvenir yarn) I thought your fingers had landed on the wrong keys! then I saw the little tag. As long as you add beautiful yarn and feel free to add your parentheses...you are doing fine!
Souvenir yarn doesn't count. It is always allowed. I bought some Schoppel Wolle Zauberball too, as souvenir yarn from Buena Vista's Serendipity. Just be prepared that it is impossible to knit matching socks...the color transitions never repeat!
Very pretty! Can wait to see how the 'ball' knits up! I wouldn't mind socks that didn't match... just sayin...
Beautiful! Good deals and souvenir yarn are always an exception to the rules. And sock yarn. =D haha
