Yarn Clubs

Apparently I am a sucker for a yarn club.  I don't know what it is about the thought of getting special, hand dyed yarn that only those who join the club can get.  Add in a few patterns to go along with it, and really, I'm hooked.

Regardless of the fact that my stash over-floweth.

Regardless of the fact that my "Rockin-Sock Club" yarn has resulted in only 2 finished projects (purple socks and a colorwork hat).

Regardless of the fact that Vesper stripes are becoming other things besides socks (shawls, gloves...thinking about a hat but not sure, definitely want to knit a cowl sideways).

Regardless of the fact that I seem to start new projects every other day with other yarn from the stash.

Regardless of the fact that both of my daughters have requested Christmas gifts in colorways or yarns that I don't already have in my stash (I'm honestly not sure how this is possible considering what I DO have in my stash).

Regardless of the fact that I've only a limited amount of time to knit, and apparently only a limited amount of physical ability to knit, which is really disconcerting.

Regardless of the fact that I'm not swimming in money...

But, I saw yesterday that Dragonfly Fibers has a yarn club.  I've never bought anything from them, but I've admired the lovely projects they post on FaceBook.  The yarns are gorgeous in pictures...and now I want to be part of their club too.  I love the creativity with which they name their yarns...and the colorways look amazing.  Then they tempted me even further this morning by posting a picture of this month's pattern from their yarn club.

It's hardly fair!  I mean really...I've given up the temptations of sweet foods, bread, pizza, fried chicken, french fries and hamburgers recently. I haven't had a bowl of ice cream in 6 months...chocolate has not passed my lips.  I haven't even eaten a strawberry or peach this summer.

I've been so good on my food diet that it's extremely difficult to pay heed to the self-imposed yarn-diet.

Temptations!

Today's picture is of the Amish furniture we bought in Ohio when we visited in May.  It was custom made per our requests (stain color, wood type, upholstery).  I thought you'd like to see that the kitties have staked a claim on the new territory.

I find it to be a very comfortable couch and chair.  What you don't see is the glider that we also bought.  I intended for it to be mine, but I'm sitting in the couch where I sat before...perhaps it's a location thing...perhaps I need to move all my knitting stuff to the glider...
