Busy Saturday

J had his first preschool birthday party today. It went rather well! You'd think he's be passed out, but he's sitting next to me just talking and talking and talking about how I make him pick up his toys and he doesn't like that.

Kids. They're weird man.

I almost fell off the yarn wagon this week.  Verdant Gryphon had an update that included the colorway Osiris, and well, I had to have it.  And I bought some naked bugga for a project I'm collecting. I did have $$ in paypal from destash so I wasn't feeling too badly, but when I logged into Ravelry after buying the yarn, there was someone wanting to buy a older destash of mine. So, that totally worked out.  Then I picked up some of the special edition yarn from Sharon at 3 Irish Girls, and suddenly, again, there was a request for some of my older destash yarn. I think it's a sign I was meant to buy the yarn. I'm still ahead for the yarn out/yarn in money wise. :)

And! And there's more! I finished my teal sweater I've been knitting, so that's 4 skeins of cascade out. I'm pretty sure I bought that the first summer I worked at CD, so that's over 3 years old!
 I'm hoping it'll be dry by morning, I want to wear it to work tomorrow.  I've got it under the fan, with it on high. *fingers crossed*

I'm only going to count the yarn that has been paid for as of right now.

Yarn Knitted -4
Yarn In- +4
Yarn Out  -10

 Last Total -14

New Total -24!!

Holy cow! I'm rocking the destash! 

I also cast on some new socks today. It's some 3IG. Watermelon Chiffon. Loving it so far, I hope it's not going to be too small. I cast on 60 stitches.  I think the next size up was 72 stitches, and that seems a little big. We'll see.

Nice. I love your rationalizing! I totally do that too. I think I may have to do a destash soon...

I can justify anything. I think it's my special talent. :)

destashing can be fun! it makes more room to buy new and exciting yarn. :)
