Shop attack

I have been knitting, kind of. I'm working on curtains for some French doors and they are taking forever. I get bored and switch over to the afghan knit along. I get bored with that because all the squares are the same. They just use different color combinations. Then I try to sew some of the square together and they look horrible. All the time and expense and the stupid squares look terrible. Grrrrr. I put the squares down and log onto Ravelry. It was one of the ads that got me.

I ended up at etsy. Clicky clicky clicky. Next thing you know, there's fun things on the way: a Tardis shawl pin, two skeins of sock yarn from the Cyborg's Craft Room, and a cross stitch kit from the UK. Do I need or even know what I want to do with sock yarn called Unicorn Rainbow Fight and Spontaneous Dance Party? No, I do not. I may just leave it here next to the computer and let it make me happy. Why did I buy a cross stitch kit when I've got virtually every color of DMC embroidery floss known to man? I was unwilling to wait and see if the chart alone would be offered for sale. It's cool. It's Van Gogh-themed. Maybe it will get me stitching on the pieces for that Doctor Who messenger bag I just had to make and haven't started.

It's back to the curtains for now. Yawn.

Funny...you do know that Holiday Yarns has a new one called Rainbow Unicorn, which is pretty eye searing...I did join one of their clubs....and I am waiting on some club shipments at the moment....I did recently troll etsy for fun nail polish....

Holiday's Rainbow Unicorn is pretty eye-searing for sure! The Cyborg yarn has a lot of colors in it but it's more pastel. What sort of club did you join with Holiday?

That etsy, so full of temptations.
