Whoo! A finished project.

I needed a little taste of lace while I try and finish up other projects. I made this Valentine "cheval" doily from the First Book of Modern Lace Knitting by Marianne Kinzel. I had some crochet cotton from a long-ago expirement with crocheting, and I basically used the whole darn ball.

So I found a deal at WEBS -- you know how it is with those seaonal closeouts. I was bored and looking for some possible contenders with which to make the Sienna Cardigan. Well, I found some Tahki Kerry for $3.99 a ball (color 5023, a fairly pale pink). Granted, the yardage is not great, but so cheap!

But now I have the problem of what do I make first? I have a hard time admitting it, but at this point I have about 5 sweaters' worth of yarn for myself. I don't think of myself as a greedy person -- most of my current projects are for other people. Yet I felt a little guilt for getting still more yarn. I am telling myself, "after I finish project X and Y, I can start a sweater." Just no more yarn! I can do that. I have plenty to keep me happy for awhile now.

I just have to stay away from sales. ahem.
