Tour de Fleece… interlude

Y’all are coming to know me, right?  I have no self control when it comes to yarn and yarn shops. I have a very difficult time when it comes to NOT purchasing when I’m in one.   This is a pretty big difficulty when it comes to how I sit, every single Tuesday afternoon, at my local shop - KnitNPurl - in Surfside Beach, South Carolina.  

The local ladies are hugely supportive and are very real enablers.   And it’s not like they’re egging you on and laughing with malice!  Oh no..  fright alongside you as you go.. local or visitor.  “Ooooh!  What do you have there?!  OMG!  Candace!  CANDACE!  Have you seen this?!”    And there goes another sweater’s worth of yarn, into my bag…. Lol.    This isn’t always a bad thing!  But man.. I’m glad I knit fast. Lol

This past week, in between planning my challenges for TdF, I couldn’t stop myself and bought four skeins of Berroco’s Remix in this unbelievable Grape-y purple! Lol.   Why?  For a Ranunculus.    I hate the sleeves on that sweater, so I’ll be working more standard decreases, and a proper rob at the cuff ;) 

Isnt it great!?   Worked up on US10 needles ( which feel like broomsticks in my hand! ) it's fast and pretty easy and just for enjoyment :)  

jump in and make it happen!
