I shouldn't be allowed to have a "blog".

Hi. I'm Madeline. I like to knit and crochet, but I post other stuff too. Nice to meet you.

flash your stash: april 2015

i’m a yarn addict oh god. this week i think i spent more on yarn than on food so clearly i need some sort of intervention.

nonetheless, here’s some recent yarn acquisition.

from knitpicks: knitpicks comfy worsted in carrot and ivory, and comfy worsted heather in sweet pea and elderberry

these will eventually become log cabin washcloths, once i get my hands on size 6 16″ circulars.

from eat.sleep.knit: numma numma TEXAStoasty in la plata (currently sold out)

will become orlane’s textured shawl.

also from eat.sleep.knit: Dream in Color Smooshy in Kettle-Dyed Juliette’s Blush

will become my first pair of socks. (any recommendations for a beginner?)

finally, from purlsoho: nabbed three more skeins of merino script in desert blue, steel blue, and timeless navy 

adding them to the five skeins i already had, and i’ve cast on for my seed stitch wrap.

plus, i’ve got my april yarnbox coming this week, and i finally bit the bullet and subscribed to yarnbox socks as well. [sweats nervously]

I don’t even procrastinate anymore I just straight up neglect 100% of my responsibilities

"…knitters just can’t watch TV without doing something else. Knitters just can’t wait in line, knitters just can’t sit waiting at the doctor’s office. Knitters need knitting to add a layer of interest in other, less constructive ways.”

100 years ago, buying something you could make was considered wasteful; now making something you could buy is considered wasteful. I am not convinced this is a step in the right direction.
