I Love Yarn Day 2015

This year instead of going on my annual yarn crawl, I decided that I'd just visit my favorite yarn store, Yarn Story.  My decision to do this was in part that: 1) I'm still in the throes of renovating my (endless) walk-in-closet (and needed to work on it that day :'(); 2) the fact that I currently have two projects going on (posts on that later) and; 3) I'm trying to use up yarn stash before getting more yarn stash (I know - crazy concept, huh? ;P).  Plus, my whoville tabi didn't exactly turn out and I needed advice on what to do on keeping it up (another separate post on that later).

With regards to my Whoville tabi, Kim told me that I could try adding elastic to it but, there'd be no garuntee that the elastic would work to actually keep to up simply because of the yarn type I had use.  Had I decided to make a pair of short ankle socks, this yarn would have been fine; but, since I made such a long sock, the cotton/bamboo just isn't going to stay up. :(  Ever so hopeful that I could make my Whoville tabis work out, I picked up some elastic:

So, while I was there catching up with Kim, I noticed that she had quite a bit of sale yarn. ;)  I couldn't resist peeking in there and ended up finding this:

It was on sale for a steal so, I simply couldn't resist and picked it up.  It'll be another pair of socks for my hubby.  Then, as if he knew I was thinking about him, he walked in the store and picked this out:

Shocked that he even looked around, I also picked up his choice of yarn too. :)

So much for my resolve on not adding to my stash! :P

Well, that was the extent of my I Love Yarn Day this year.  (And, yes, I actually spent the rest of my weekend working on my closet, not my knitting. :'()
