They don't count as stash, you know. Plus, being on sale. How could I resist?
So, what did I get? I'll show you.
First up for your viewing pleasure: Peacock, Champlain Sunset, and Spring Frost.
And in this photo we have, Birches, Caribou Creek, Northern Lights, and Serengeti. I thought about going back and getting even more, but apparently, they are sold out -- of the closeouts, that is. But I've got quite a pile now, and just think of all the blankie squares I can knit from the leftovers!
I also got an e-mail telling me that my second tax return purchase shipped today. Woo Hoo! I can't wait to get it. I'm not going to tell you what it is. That would spoil the surprise, but here is a hint:
By the way, Vanessa said she saw TK at the store after work yesterday, and he was wearing his hat. I guess he really liked it. He wasn't at work today, so I'll have to tease him about it tomorrow. Oh, and I forgot to tell you...about The Other Rod's hat. See, his nickname is Hot Rod (and for good reason, too, but I won't get into that here...), and the name of the colorway from which I knit his hat is Hot Red. It just seemed appropriate.
More tax money spending to come! I'll keep you posted.

Ooooh, you're getting a Segway! I've always thought those were so "you"! ;)
Your new yarn is very yummy. I looked at their website a few days ago and thought all the colors were pretty much winners. But here's my current hang-up: I won't buy yarn in hanks unless someone (like my LYS) will wind them into balls for me. I know some people find ball winding to be an integral part of the knitting process, but I just find it to be an obstacle between me and actually knitting. Maybe someday I'll change my mind...
I'd love to have a segway, but I'm not sure where I'd ride it around here.
I was like you, and refused to buy yarn in hanks until I got my swift and ball winder. It makes it so much easier!
