THE JACKPOT

If you're the praying type, send one up for me today. I'm gonna need it when my husband gets home...

I went to the store intending to buy $3-worth of yarn for teddies. Instead I came home with this.

Welcome to Divorceville, population: me.

LATER THAT EVENING:

Still married. In fact, he didn't seem that fazed. And I don't have anything specific in mind to make with it; I just bought all the store had because it was 50% off. Ideas will come...bags can be felted...the yarn will find its purpose.

Ok, now... you have to at least tell us what you intend to make with that gorgeous stash! You've posted some yarn p*rn, and didn't even give the entire story :) haha

I concur, you cannot post yarn p*rn without an explanation of what it's for. In fact your penalty for this transgression is that we get your stash.

I went to a PEO meeting today and the program was a lady demonstrating her weaving looms, she does beautiful work. When someone asked where she got her beautiful yarn she said what she is working with now she bought about 5 years ago when a local quilt shop went out of business. She said, "I knew I would use it for something, sometime, and it was just too pretty to pass up." Her husband is pretty proud of her and I bet your is too.

I have no idea how you intend to make a "teddy" out of the yarn, but have fun trying...

no wonder DH doesn't mind

If my wife had told me that she had bought all that yarn for 50% off each, I would have said COOL A BARGOON!
Then she probably would have asked me to take the bag up to her room!

But Hey What I know!
