A knitter/blogger has been reported missing since last updating her blog over a week ago. She was seen last weekend at an area yarn store that is going out of business. She was clutching a gift card in her hand, wandering around with glazed eyes, and muttering "20% off entire inventory". She was seen grabbing this:
and an obscenely soft ball of baby llama and silk yarn that looked like this:
According to reports, she was also spotted yesterday at another area yarn store. Allegedly, she did not break her yarn diet, since although she petted and drooled over many yarns, none were seen being added to her stash. However, witnesses said she left the store with a bag pattern (while chanting "master color-work in 2008, master color-work in 2008") and several small buttons for a baby sweater.
This knitter is considered armed (with pointy sticks and a credit card) and a danger to herself (financially) and others (who may make the mistake of grabbing a skein she has set her sights on). If seen, please try to sooth her with soft lace-weight and call Pea and Charlie, who miss her very much.

oooohhh... so pretty! No wonder your yarn diet isn't going well.
Your post is absolutely adorable. You're so clever.
Sounds like you have been having fun!!
Hehe!! Nice bag that will be and nice yarns too!
HAHAHHA....I love your post today, it made my evening!
:o)
You did very well!
Nice Stash additions, and I love that bag pattern.
Good choice of yarns!
Hope you had fun shopping!
Cutie! I love the Mission Falls. Whatchoo got planned?
Oh man, and it is only what? January? How many months til Rhinebeck? Do you have a big calendar to cross off the days?
The bag pattern looks nice great yarn choices
Way to go, Karen--you made out like a bandit!!
Hee hee! Very funny post. If the bag is felted, I think it's a great way to try out colorwork. If you're felting, you can get the basics down, but it's less important to have everything look perfectly-perfect.
Heh. Looks like you did good at the sale! And colorwork so isn't that scary. Really.
so what are you going to make with the llama/silk?
oooh pretty yarn! Sounds like the sale was a success ;)
lol! It looks like you chose some great yarns and what a cool bag pattern.
Great purchases! Mission Falls is such lovely yarn.
Well is there a REWARD? I think I know what she is up to. She's helping the economy.
Hi! Love the new pattern! Post of pic when you get it started....
Great post! looks like you made it out with some great finds :) The pattern looks way fun too. I'm almost as bad buying many patterns as I am buying so much yarn, lol :)
I love that bag pattern I have knit it a few times myself.
I say let her run! ;) Great post. Isn't that Adagio amazing? I did a store sample scarf with it and it was the most amazingly soft thing ever. Speaking of which... I really need to get that back...
