Are there any Yarn stores on the way there?

So yesterday, I went to visit Nic, and even though she had already gone to 7 (!) yarn shops the day before, she took me shopping to 2 more yesterday. :D We went to All About Yarn, which I had never been to before, and Borealis Yarns, which I had been too once before with Nic.
I love yarn stores! At the first place I was good, and only spent 10 dollars. But I got this super cute pattern for a baby sweater, and yarn and a free pattern to make baby booties. At the next shop, well, I wasn't so good. I bought yarn to make 2 baby sweaters, and two books, and only 2 skeins of this lovely mohair that Nic pointed out. I didn't listen to her and I didn't buy it all. When we got back to her place, I remembered I had a pattern to make a sweater. So that means poor Nic has to go back and pick up 3 more skeins for me. :D (I love you Nic! You're the bestest!)

So, I learned to always buy all seven skeins. Always. Because you will find the pefect pattern 7 minutes after the store closes.
