Because my time, budget and storage are limited, I have this rule for myself that I can’t go (thrift) shopping for yarn unless I’m completely out of it.
I’m not, obviously.
But this morning I was in a few thrift shops, searching for something else and I happened to run into some yarn. So I decided my rule didn’t apply here. I mean, my time wasn’t wasted, since I was already there. The basket can handle just a little bit more yarn (I hope) and for a total of Euro 4,50, it wasn’t exactly a big chunk out of my budget.
Or maybe I’m just making up excuses now. Anyway, I’m happy with it. The shiny yarn on the left is really beautiful and I think I can make a shawl with it (it’s two skeins). The rest will probably end up as hats, though I’m also thinking I have so many shades of grey* now, that I could make an ombre shawl or maybe even a blanket.
I do love that about having a bigger stash. Dreaming up projects, making plans.
Good thing I didn’t find what I’m looking for, so I’ll have to visit a few more thrift shops soon…
*nope, no reference to that book. I didn’t even read it
