Waiting (impatiently)

I caved.
I knew that I would eventually cave, so it is ok that I did cave.
I ordered a lot of yarn (and a fair heft of books) off the Internet. And now I am waiting for it to arrive...
My Nana gives me a nice chunk of money for Christmas every year. Usually it gets spent on the enormous Solstice dinner I make every year. This year however I contemplated spending it just on meself. Which of course means yarn these days.
I discovered KnitPicks awhile ago but never seriously considered anything there because I wasn't knitting very much at the time (and didn't have queue of over 400 items). Then I bought a skein of KnitPicks Pallet and made this. It was beautiful yarn to work with, and knit up very very soft. I vaguely remembered that it was super cheap on the KnitPicks website, so I wandered over there and took a look. My gosh, such fabulous yarn and such great prices. I can make an entire blanket for like $20!!!
Then I started looking at their book selection. I compared their prices to Amazon.ca and found KnitPicks to be a little bit cheaper (even with the exchange rate) and had ALMOST convinced myself to buy some stuff...but I'll wait till the new year.
I waited and then went to wander again last Monday. Oh, and look, ALL their books are 40% this month. Well then...
So, I caved (big time) and now I am waiting for the goodies to arrive, which of course will take forever (see why here)...
But there will be pictures when it all arrives...(so so so excited)
