Conspiracy

Have you ever noticed that the word 'piracy' is part of this title?  I definitely feel that temptation is an attempt by universe to hi-jack my will power. 

And, as everything happens in three's - another rule of the universe - I've hit the jackpot this week.

 
Look what Anne brought home from the thrift shop for me!  I was so excited.  That's becoming tempered by reality now which is that I really don't have time to learn how to spin.  But isn't it pretty? So seductive, the wheel stands in the sewing room and sings her siren song.  But, no!  It'll just have to wait.  Then, there's the not-so-small issue of fibers everywhere.  With an asthmatic in the house, we'll have to work on a solution for that before any spinning takes place.  But, really...isn't it pretty?

You all know about temptation number two.  Or, temptation number one since it was a few days ago.  Thanks to those who voted, I have a decision on the color for my Olivier pullover.  The color you chose - drum roll, please! - is Spruce.  It was a bit touch-and-go with the Slate for a couple of days but in the end Spruce won handily and I'm ordering my yarn today. 

And, now my third temptation.  I was merrily researching something totally unrelated when up popped an ad.  Well, not a pop-up because I hate those and have a blocker which is mostly effective.  No, it was a banner ad on someone's blog, I think.  Whatever.  I'm killing myself with the suspense.  Here is the link to the Simply Socks Yarn Company.  What a perfect little jewel of a store for a knitter who NEEDS to knit socks to stay sane. 

Too much temptation out there...I need blinders.
