OMG!!! I think I spent too much the past few months!!! :dead: Seriously don’t ask me how much because I might just faint!!! :dead: :dead: :dead: I promise myself, this is definitely going to be the last shopping spree that is knitting related for the year!! That’s it!! No more!!
Look what’s waiting for me when I reached home today!! Another package!! It’s yarns that I have recently bought from Jannett’s Rare Yarns for Yin and myself. It’s the Rowan All Seasons Cotton Yarn. 1 pack for each one of us :up:.
Apart from yarns, last Saturday during our monthly Perth City Nits, I bought Knit Issue 2 by Jo Sharp and Knitscene Fall 2006 from Helen. Also, after quite a lot of thinking, I bought myself a 2 year subscription of Interweave Knits.
Now you know why I said I’m going on a knitting diet???? Diet as in not buying anymore knitting related stuff!!! :ouch: :ouch: :ouch:

Oh I like the cardigan o the front of the IK. Very nice books and I love Janette’s wool!!!
OH MY! ….that looks like a lot of yarn! i think i am in trouble to… hey… received Bendigo’s Sale notice… must say i am SOOOO tempted!:-P
Well just call all the yarn and books early Christmas prezzies and that way you wont feel so bad about the money you spent!:-D
I hate the way here in Oz the more “luxury” I suppose you’d call them, Yarns cost a fortune! - These yarn shops really do over charge!:grr:
ooooerrr.. how delish it all looks! Haven’t heard of Knitscene before and I am an absolute KNitMagWhore! (excuse my ‘French’) I love getting them with their shiny pages and inspiring read and pics! Will have to check out the KNitScene link and maybe buy one from Helen next time… hehe
wow! nice colour of the rowan yarn!!
dont worry gal, “this year” only left ONE month! u can plan your shopping in two months time! he he
look forward to see your FO
Your not the only one that needs to go on a yarn diet. We can diet together, but the trouble is my record is not good, particularly being surround by yarns and knitters all the time. Everyone deserves regular treats. You have invested very wisely with your allseason cotton. That is a great yarn and wears really well. Interweave Knits is a really top quality good value knitting mag and has lots of extra patterns and technical information on their website for members. Happy knitty times!
The mittens are in toddler, child, ladies and mens sizes.
I will put the pattern on my blog in the next few days.

Well, knitting is a healthy hobby - exercise the hands, reduce stress, challenge the mind…etc, so it’s alright to spend on a good hobby! Nice color & lovely yarn - enjoy knitting with it!
I am living the knitting thrill of buying yarn through you! That is the best yarn I heard…the Rowan! So many wonderful things you got!
