a confession

i have a confession to make. i am addicted to something. it's been a little while in the making, but it's full blown now. i don't know what i did without it before. i can't imagine life without it ever again. 

i'm addicted to...

debbie bliss prima yarn. it's drape, it's weight, it's warmth without being too warm. the only thing i am not in love with is that almost every single ball has at least one knot in it. BUT i don't let it sway me away from using it. because of the amazing qualities of the fabric it makes.

there is a slight sheen to it, too. as soon as i finished flirt, i went to the website where i had gotten the purple yarn on sale and saw they had more than enough left in brown. and it was still on sale! i just went shopping for our spring wardrobes and felt as though i was still missing something. a brown, bamboo and merino wool skirt! so yes, eventually i will make another. but not before i get a certain someone's blanket done. and i'm rapidly approaching that point...

don't send help...it's too late for me.

LOL! I won't bother to send the doc I had all lined up for you then. (: Sure wish I could knit, crochet, tat... I think I need to take some lessons. Years ago when my Grandma offered to teach me, I was way too busy being a tomboy. Now I realize what I missed out on! ~Vicki

Your mother and I are a tad bit worried about you and your "addiction". snerx.

Glad to know you are into something that brings you so much joy.

You do some really good work.

Man, I wish you were my neighbor and could teach me how to knit properly!!! Upon reading your last post, I was all fired up and ready to play with the yarns again, so I sent an email to a friend and hoping that she would be around so we could knit together... more precisely, she would teach me and correct my knitting. Well, I got an email back, she was in Arizona, now Colorado, would be home for a few weeks before going to Hawaii and Alaska! So that went the chance to learn! :()

Forgot to ask, what are your plans for the yarn in such beautiful color in the picture?
Inquiring mind wants to know!!
