Anyway I've already knit one elf hat (see last post) for a four-year-old. It was quick and easy, so I decided to do one for a friend's baby who's due to make her initial appearance on the 10th of November. Then I thought I should make one for S's one year old boy. Oh, I has a one year old girl. Crum, I can't make a hat for I's baby if I don't make hats for L's two granddaughters (one still in utero), their desks are right next to each other. Geeze o' pete, that makes a total of six baby hats.
That's why inexpensive yarn from JoAnn's. The machine wash and dry requirement is due to the nature of babies. (I don't have to have a baby to know about that.)
So I blithely waltzed in to JoAnn's Moonlight Madness sale this afternoon. Okay, rock me back on my heals, fifty bazillion women with small children running amuck with green grocery carts. But I'm brave, so I grabbed a cart and plowed into the milling masses.
Onward to the yarn department!
Of course, it's not possible to go to the yarn department and not push my cart up and down all of the aisles. Nope, not possible.
Wowzer! Cosetta on sale 75% off. So I went through the whole bin and got the seven that had the same dye lot.
One skein of Moda Dea in a loverly color, looking so lonely rattling around in its big bin.
Pacaboo, what the heck's Pacaboo? Feltable... wool, alpaca and bamboo... cool. Just one skein to experiment with, that's not much.
I hadn't even gotten to the baby yarns yet.
Ah well, I guess $45 for 15 skeins of yarn ain't bad. And I smuggled it down to the basement before the Engineer got home to make editorial comments on my excess too.

We both bought yarn today. You got much more for your money, but I have to say, mine has silk! and cashmere!
Jealous, jealous, jealous.
I like the good stuff way better than the practical for kids stuff, but today I required mass quantities rather than quality.
$45 is a screaming deal. Can't wait to see what you create with these goodies.
I LOVE the PacaBoo yarn. I bought two skeins of Brown and have used it all up. My JoAnns no longer carries it and I cannot find the Brown ANYWHERE online. I'm so upset. I make primitive folk art dolls and it works perfectly for hair.
Have fun w/ all your yarn!
