I’m being sorely tempted from my Summer of Stash guidelines.
Surprisingly, I’m not tempted badly by the amazing sale yarns (at least right now, while I am not within petting distance of them) I just really want a $20 grab bag. Because I mean, who knows what you’ll get? Possibly $100 worth of yarn for $20? That’s great! That is A-mazing. And Saturday is the day I’m in town….

I was re-reading my Summer of Stash post, and looking at what I put down for my exceptions. There is no way I’m going to finish (or possibly even start…) Tubey this summer, which was my condition for buying the yarn for Raspy. That can go away. I haven’t touched the thrummed mittens yet, so no Cotton Chennile. But I did finish my Jaywalkers and immediately cast on more socks with my Kool-Aid yarn. And $20 isn’t that much. Am I sounding desperate yet?

I <3 grab bags! They're so wonderfully full of chance!

Maybe if the grab bag I promise myself that the grab bag is the only thing I’ll buy this summer, I’ll let myself do it. Problem is, going in to the yarn store is dangerous. Although, with the new transmission and everything, I think my willpower is pretty fortified. Every time I want to buy a skein of something fancy, I’ll just think of the car. It’s the world’s best deterrent.

I’m taking knitting on the plane this time (a week today! My friend’s wedding!) but I have to start a new project, with plastic needles.
