I have just been on a shopping spree and I wish you could have come with me! Since hubby won't get excited over my finds, I share them with you! Hang onto your wallets, here we go!

First stop, Cranberry Quilters and Yarn. No Noro Kureyon in sight today. But I did buy a skein of Lamb's Pride bulky which will serve just fine as handles for the BGJ bag, which is done and awaiting it's dip into the washer. Stay tuned...big felting weekend! The excitement is building around here! But I did come out with some of this. Who could resist?

This is Katia reno plus, color number 613. The most wonderfully shaded, soft yarn that is destined to be a scarf for me. Hey! MY neck gets cold too you know!

Then it was onto Arbella yarns, which in retrospect was not the wisest of choices. I have forgotten that one does not casually venture into Salem during the week before halloween. Tourists were EVERYWHERE! They are all hoping to catch sight of a witch. I dare say, I was there! cackle cackle! But as luck would have it, I found a parking spot near the yarn shoppe, and found this!

Noro kureyon, color number 102 for yet another BGJ bag. Bright enough for you?

Back into the witchy poo mobile for the traffic filled drive home. As I pass Abbot Yarn, I pause to think.....maybe...Nah! But....she did have some Noro the last time I went in. The car miraculously parks itself and I find myself walking into the store. I look around and can't find any Noro. I ask the owner lady and she says that she is not carrying it anymore but she has some out back she wants to get rid of. Oh, really?? she brings out 6 skeins. And then says........I'll give them to you for $1.99 each if you buy them all! Well....OKAY! Here they are in all their glory! I have only 2 of one color and one of another, but I'll deal. Oh, Roooob???

Noro Kureyon (with the japanese labels) 3 skeins of color number 80, 2 skeins of color number 51 (this picture is not that clear, but, meh!) and a lone skein of 57.

I sit back with my lovely purchases surrounding me, in a particular knitting nirvana, of which you no doubt understand. I wonder how my family will take the news that the menu of the week contains lots and lots of macaroni and cheese?
