I Just Can't Help It! Hmmmm!

I had to go to the wool shop today. This is not a safe thing to do for me. I actually went because the wool store that I frequent is also a beading store and I needed supplies to make stitch markers. I am getting a parcel ready for a friend in Newfoundland. I thought I would include some nifty stitch markers made with semi prescious beads. Problem is that when I went in to the store the balls of yarn nicely displayed at the back of the store called to me and so I couldn't help but go have a look. Hmmmm!

I knew that time was of the essence as Hubby and the girls were sitting in the truck waiting outside the store in the vehicle. I had told them that I would only be a few minutes and I would be right back. Hmmmm!

No one was looking so I grabbed two balls of sock yarn that is self-striping and took it to the cash register along with my beading needs and paid for it without a second glance. I snuck into the truck with my purchases camoflauged beneath my arm so that Hubby would not ask what was in the bag so bulky besides beading supplies. Hmmmm!

I haven't looked into the bag yet because someone might ask unnecessary questions. Problem is that I really am not sure what I bought. I grabbed it so quickly that I didn't really look. I know it was among the sock yarn. I know it was pastel. I know it had the word 'wool' on it, other than that I really don't know what I bought. Hmmmm!

I know that I had better not look because I have a few more rows on another project (next post or the one after I will show you). If I look now I may get distracted from the other project that I have been trying to finish for ages..... I'll want to start my new socks. I know that the wool I purchased will be good with the Leyburn sock pattern (check out Yarn Harlot's blog, Jan 13, 2009 post). Hmmmm!

Ok..... I just can't wait to look.......

75% superwash
25% polyamid (what's that?)

I hope this works! Hmmmm!

Ok, forget that other project for now. Hmmmm!

True confessions of a compulsive sock knitter.... Hmmmm!
