Planned Yarn Purchase

Remember my resolution to not buy yarn in 2010? Remember my exceptions included “except yarn for gifts where I post in advance that I am going to buy yarn”?

My friend Florence took me up on my “donate $100 for a pair of socks” pledge in August, and she has sent me her measurements and preferences. So, tomorrow, I am off to a yarn shop to find baby-soft yarn in white, cream, or yellow, for the slipper-socks she wants. I could knit from stash, but I want baby-soft yarn, and I have none of that in my stash– I don’t generally knit with baby yarns.

This is me. Posting in advance. Yarn purchase imminent.
