Shawn and I talked about it and I said for my birthday I wanted him to take me to buy some yarn. We went to The Yarn Shop today, and looked at the very expensive pretties. The difference in yarn quality from Red Heart to Lion Brand, and Lion Brand to Debbie Bliss is just incredible. But the balls ranged anywhere from 6-14 dollars for the sort of size of balls where it'd take probably 15 or so to make a sweater. You do the math. Maybe one day when we have more money and I'm adept enough to create something really beautiful.

So, after, we went to Michaels and they were having a yarn sale. Pretty much $1 off every ball of yarn in the store. I did very good not to go nuts. I bought three balls of Lion Brand homespun, with an idea in mind for something for someone with each. And I bought another ball of the multicolor pastel so I can make a baby blanket. I was doing a hat and scarf thing, but didn't have the right size needle and decided I liked the blanket idea better anyway.

And, with Michaels lacking in pillow form, I bought some batting and finished off my pillow for the car.

There's still so many supplies I need - stitch markers, row counters, different size needles, double pointed and circular needles in different sizes - the list goes on and on. Crochet is definitely cheaper, but I just enjoy knitting more. Though I did grab a free pattern for a pretty crochet scarf I might try.

Mmmm. Yarn.
