Found a Joann's near me today, decided to go forth adventuring to find it. It is only supposed to be about 4 miles further down 50 past the Michaels.

I finally find it. Sadness. It has a huge sign across the front that says STORE CLOSING. I call Sharon, and tell her, but then I decide, maybe just maybe they will have some yarn on sale, that I like, and I will buy it all. *laughs*

Little did I know... but... they had the yarn that Sarah had chosen for her blanket. Lionbrand Homespun, Williamsburg. It was the only yarn in there that I liked, and that there was enough of the one color. A sign reads: buy 12 or more and get 70% off.

So I got her yarn. $58+ worth of yarn, for only $17.96. Weee!

Off to Borders bookstore: Pick up the next two books in the No 1 Detective Agency Series by Alexander McCall Smith. Books 4 & 5.

Michaels in same shopping plaza: One tiny little skein of Bamboo yarn. Oo! I love this yarn. Going to make a Baby hat with it.
Also, the yarn needed to make the Worms in the Grass hat.

All in all, a good evening. My yearning to touch more yarn has been satisfied even tho I didn't find the yarn I went to look for.

I love the Bamboo yarn but I'm not thrilled with the colour choices. The green is a little too grayish for my taste. Still, I'm sure I'll break down and buy some.

I bought 6 skeins of it last night to go with the one I bought the other day. Used store credit. *smiles* it was all they had. I cant decide what I will make with it.

But my sister says to just make sure I close the door to my room, when I want a private moment with my yarn. *laughing* So, I like the way it feels.... sue me.

That is just *so* wrong... but hey, what you do with your yarn in your own home is your own business. ;P

Oh sure, little Miss Innocence... like you have never groped a yarn in your life!

I don't grope. I stroke.
