Oh, wagon, why have you left me behind?

I was doing so well, I actually thought that stash busting might become a semi-permanent habit. HA HA, THANKS FOR PLAYING, say the yarn gods. It started last night, when I was looking for a long circular needle to magic loop my next pair of socks:



I ordered a 32 inch KnitPicks circular, US size 2, and a couple of skeins of Gloss in burgundy, because hey, I've never ordered from them before. And I finished off a scarf this week, removing three skeins of Noro Kureyon from the stash, so I was still at a net loss. But then, this morning, I had to check out Knitopia, which moved recently from White Rock to Langley, and somehow I fell into a pile of sock yarn.

This is the same sock yarn used to make the popular Monkey socks on Knitty. So soft.

Shelridge Farms Soft Touch Ultra



And then I picked up some of this new Jojoland Melody, a 100% superwash wool from China.

I see the stash busting wagon, wayyyyyy off in the distance...
