So because of things that have happened recently, mum gave me some money and said, "Go forth and spend it on yarn". Which I did.

Plus some extra.

I accidentally spent £26.50 on discounted yarn.

Yeah.

Partly because it was there, and it was gorgeous. Partly because I'd had a shitty three weeks. And partly because I have little to no self-control.

But I've got enough yarn to knit something for my nephew, which will be good. I was actually knitting him a cardigan, but I don't think it will fit (it's smaller than it's meant to be by this stage, and I'm using lighter weight wool than specified. Also no, I did not swatch it, because I've never done swatches. I did, however, swatch the yarn I got yesterday, and it's a little big, but that'll give a bit of positive ease. Which will be good, as I'd like the cardi to last him all winter (he turns 1 year old in October, and the pattern is for up to a 12 month old) ).

I've also got enough yarn to either make something fabulous for myself (tempting), or make lots of aliens for the shop. Though I've got one and a half aliens to get through first. Well, we'll see. I've got to sort the yarn out yet and add it to the stash.
