Splurge

I am the type of person who uses a Ziploc bag, reinforced with duct tape, for my sock projects. And the last thing I need is more sock yarn. However, that did not stop me from indulging in this anniversary kit from Simply Sock Yarn.


I don't sew except in extreme circumstances, but that doesn't mean I can't admire and covet particular prints, like this vintage kitchen one sewn into a flat sock bag by Bird Leg Bags. Throw in some color coordinated striping sock yarn and I'm helpless. The macaroon stitch markers are icing on the cake.

(An aside: For some reason, the Knitterly Things yarn label says to hand wash and dry flat, even though the yarn is made from superwash wool and nylon. WUWT?)
