Moratorium: Foiled

well, just as easily as i implemented the moratorium, i broke it. first i bought the yarn for my lace wrap class--totally legit, right? then i went to chicago for the American Library Association conference last week. one of my knitting instructors said that she buys sock yarn in every city that she visits and then she has a pair of socks as her souvenir...much better than a snowglobe, right? so i had told myself i would do the same...

when we got to the yarn shop (knitwerks), i fell victim to "crazy eyes." after touching and holding every skein of sock yarn in the place, i found a basket of custom dyed lorna's laces. the shop owner pointed out that one of them was named "knitwerks" and made especially for the shop. this was the clear choice. the colors were great. but there was another color that caught my eye and i couldn't put it down. so 4 skeins of sock yarn and an electronic row counter later...

so weak.

my wrap class starts monday and i have a few goals. before that class starts, i would like to finish my second sock from the last class i took. i would also like to add all this new yarn to my stash in ravelry and upload pictures of everything.
