Greedy

This weekend it's the annual craft fair in my home town. A big doodah with lots of stands that sell things you want. Like yarns. And more yarns. Ooh, and there is another stall with beautiful yarn. 

I had set myself a budget and when that money was gone, that was it. But you know how it goes: another offer you can't refuse. And more beautiful yarn finds its way into your bag. 

It's not as if I don't have enough yarn. The amount I brought from Norway via Northern Ireland is already quite a stash. Although granted, part of that is still in storage, packed away in boxes. But another large part is over here. 

My mum and I visited a store in the autumn and I managed to grab some nice yarns there. Then I bought some yarn in Northern Ireland during my visit to my sister back in December. It was touch and go whether I could take it all with me! 

But, I have started on some of the stash. Of course the mice are an ongoing project, but they don't dent the stash that much. Some of the autumn-bought yarn is now being used, to make a baby's dress no less! 

I will get through my newest stash before I know it probably. Looking at the top photo: there are cottons on the left for two teddies: a brown one and a pink one. There is some wool mix next to that (the round balls) that will make another little baby's dress. 

More cottons (red, black and blue in the bag) for one or two cardigans. Then the two cream yarns are for the mice (their faces). Next to that, are two skeins of Nepalese silk, which will make a beautiful scarf. And the green yarn at the bottom is a lovely Merino. 

You can also see two swatches of fabric. What they will be used for is at this point in time a mystery, but it won't spoil.
