As a rule, I don't like to buy yarn on the internet sight unseen. If I have seen the yarn in person, or have a really good idea of what it will be like, I'll get it online. But generally I like to feel the yarn before I purchase it.
Last week though, I didn't do that. I purchased two skeins on a total impulse, with nothing but the hint of what it might be like. What prompted me to such reckless, stash filling behavior?
I had found a link to this:
I *HAD* to buy it. The yarn has my name! It still seems strange to me to look at the tag and see my name printed on it. The yarn is a lovely mohair blend. I got the dark charcoal color, which has bits of silver running through it.
I've already picked out the pattern on Raverly that I'm going to make with it. It's a lacy scarf. It's really hard not to abandon my other projects that are in flight to start working on this one. I mean, YARN. WITH MY NAME! *squee*
