Yellow Rose Ramblings

Notes on knitting, cats, gardening and life in general. And yes, the answer is 42.

I've been a little bit distracted for the last month or so, since I found yarn on eBAY!

That makes me:
a) the last knitter on earth to find yarn on eBAY
b) a conspicuous consumer
c) have too many ideas and too many WIPs and UFOs
d) all of the above.

The correct answer is d.

But what lovely yarns I've found, and knitting needles and yarn totes and other knitterly things! Hand spun, hand dyed, wonderful things! Commercially available wonderful things for much less than at my not so LYS or on line. Long discontinued yarn, some in the same dye lots as yarn I bought years ago as ones and twos for swatching.

It all started when DH asked me to search for a motorcycle part. Found that, and wandered over and tried a search for yarn. The first page of results offered 10 skeins of Hayfield Iceberg Chunky in the color and dyelot that I'd been searching for, ever since I started the Best Friend Jacket from stash yarn and realized that I either entered the wrong number of skeins in my database, or carefully put away half of the bag in a new hiding place. Snapped that up for a fraction of the price I paid originally! From that point on, there was no stopping me.

More tomorrow. Right now, it's time to ride the exercise bike and mindlessly knit on a scarf.
