Life's a Stitch

It’s not bad enough that I am a yarn addict, but I am an enabler. The LYS’s in our areas are few and far between, so when you have the time to go, you make sure you get orders from surrounding knitters. At my office we have a new knitter, and two knitters just getting back in to it. So, I was able to feed their addiction and get vicarious shopping thrills by buying yarn for them. Not only did I pick up these two Fleece Artist scarf kits for one, I bought an extra shawl kit knowing I could entice somebody into buying it. Besides, if they didn’t want it I would gladly incorporate it into my stash. Oh yeah, I bought one for me, too. I’m bad, I know.

Today is our 22nd anniversary and we both have the day off. Haven’t decided whether  we’ll go stateside and hit a casino or to the tree nursery (the beauty of living in a mild climate) followed by the Dickens Christmas buffet at a nice restaurant. We didn’t really start celebrating our anniversary until we were  married 20 years. It wasn’t that big a deal. We don’t buy gifts but make it a point to do something together. I don’t think a stop at the LYS will count as special.
