KAL Wool Chosen and a Glitch

I finally decided to substitute the yarn for the pattern I chose for the  KAL over at Sticks on Fire.  It would have been to long to wait for the required yarn to be shipped over as it was back ordered.


I very happily brought the wool home and couldn't wait to see what it looked like knitted up.  I got out the pattern and found it was knitted using circular needles and I didn't have a single one in the correct size.  This meant I had to go back to town to get these.





Somehow, this jumped into the bag at the same time.   At 50p a ball, I could hardly resist.  As you all know, I don't really have enough to do.  I'll just add it to the box.

Lucky you! Which pattern are you knitting?

I leave for my trip in an hour, but I'll try to update my post if there is time.

ROFL...good idea to just add it to the box! I understand why you bought it though! It's fabulous! :0)

Ah, yes. There are times when the yarn decides to be purchased and there's nothing to be done about it! That's a fun color, and it will brighten a winter day at some point, I'm sure.

That happens all the time when I go shopping - must have some kind of magnetic force that makes it happen. ;0) LOL Two lovely lots of wool. Look forward to seeing your KAL piece develop. :0)

I know the wool leapt off the shelf into your hand, cottons, books and fabric often do that with me too, lol!!! Lovely colour though.
