I Accidentally Bought Yarn... Again

I didn't mean to, but yesterday, I bought yarn. I was just meeting up with my knitting buddies. That was all. Sure, I may have been aware that there was a sale. But I didn't know how much. Honest. But then I found out that the sale was 20% minimum off of anything in the store. Maybe more if you were lucky. You could get 40% off.

So I strolled through the aisles, imagining what I could design. That was my excuse. I wasn't buying yarn for fun. It was for work. Really. It is quite dangerous to go to a yarn sale with knitting buddies. I think it is safe to say that we are all enablers. "You totally should get that yarn." "It's beautiful." And the one that got me, "What if you get 40% off?"

I did get 40% off. And I'm not sorry.

You would think that nothing is better than getting 40% at a yarn store. But today was even better. Today I went back to Green Planet Yarn for the project show and tell. You can enter a drawing based on how many projects you have knit out of yarn from Green Planet. I knit four projects.

I won three prizes.

Some might say it is because I was born in the year of the Rabbit.

The pattern itself doesn't change. The small sizing is created by using thinner yarn and smaller needles.

Fox Hat Pattern

Happy Valentines Day to everyone! (or Singles Awareness Day) Scooter is my valentine today. He's a pretty good one to have. Just give him a biscuit and he feels loved. I may have slipped him some stew as an extra treat though. He has repaid me by going off for a nap.

I have just finished up the fox hat. Extra thanks to Kenna for modeling for me.

If you are interested in purchasing the pattern, it is available on Ravelry. Or, if you do not have a ravelry account, you can buy it here. The price is $5.

I thought it would be fun to start mentioning what I was listening to or watching while making each hat. This hat was completed while listening to the album "Andorra" by Caribou.

First Pattern For Sale - The Bear Hat

Of course if you don't buy the pattern, Grumpy Teenage Bear will stare you down and sigh heavily.
