Naked in Public

Yes, I was naked in public tonight.  I was out and about on the streets of San Diego naked as a jaybird.  I can't say as it was a totally comfortable feeling at first, but after a while I adjusted.  Now I barely even notice.

I think it was good for me.  I just may go out again without my cell phone.  I hear millions of people do it all the time.  Can't say as I'd want it to be a regular thing, but once in a while a little public nudity isn't a bad thing.

I can't believe I have to go to work again tomorrow.  (Actually, I'm just going so I can get my cell).  I mean isn't it enough I showed up on Tuesday, Wednesday AND today?  I would really much prefer to stay in bed eating bon-bons tomorrow.  *sigh.*  The things I do to support my yarn habit.

Spent yesterday evening at Lori's in Alpine.  She's got scads of new yarns in, but I just wasn't up to processing.  Perhaps because I left my birthday gift certificate at home and I didn't want to be tempted to spend too much cash.  I'm wanting to buy something truly decadent with my certificate. 

I don't know about you, but for me the progression of yarn purchases has been rather amusing to reflect upon.  When I first started knitting I would look at all the "expensive" yarns wistfully, wondering if I would ever knit well enough to justify that kind of splurge. 

I remember my first "decadent" yarn purchase - a ridiculous cost of $8!  Oh the indulgence! Next came 3 (three!) skeins of Noro (meh.) for almost $36. On yarn?! Clearly I was on some kind of crack.  $20 on sock yarn, $25 on laceweight.  I started turning my nose up at any yarn sold at Michael's or Jo-Ann's.  Yeah, I know....yarn snob.

Now a $40 skein of yarn doesn't even cause a blink.  I don't have any yarn that expensive yet but it's just a matter of time.  Can a quivit coat be far behind?

Hey, I blew $100 on a hank of hand dyed mohair in NM last October. My partner almost dyed - no, died. Now I work in the Local Yarn Shop and spend all my paycheck on yarn - and I just started knitting last September.

Way back in 2006, I think, you were gifted some yarn Aurora irrestringibile - means not shrinkable. I picked it up tonight on Google checking on some Torino from Tahki. I'm using it for a stripe in an afghan I'm making - hot pink and turquoise along with other fibers in a rainbow of colors.
