Life's a Stitch

We had a few of them this past weekend. First, look at these:

Hellen’s had 20% off all yarn this past weekend. Coming from Vancouver, where I’ve never experienced a yarn sale at my LYS, it was enough to put me over the edge. I can understand the angora purchase, yet another once in a lifetime knitting opportunity, but just what possessed me to try Touch Me again? That stuff is an orgy of colour and texture and it just sucked me in. Even though my last experience with it was so bad and I swore I’d never touch it again, I had no control. Nada.

The second moment of weakness involved DH, the bank card and a casino. Nothing catastrophic, just annoying enough to influence the rest of the day weekend.

Finally, my purchase from Restoration Hardware. A clock at full price. Problem is, the person who manufactured this "fine time piece" installed the hands incorrectly so that you never really know what hour it is. I bought a full price guessing game. Back it goes, presenting another complication. My friend did me the favour of picking it up in Seattle as it wasn’t available north of the border; a royal hassle for everybody involved in returning the thing.

It’s one of those "Calgon, take me away" kind of days middle of the nights.
