I'm suffering from uncontrollable urges to browse Joann's, Hancock's, Tuesday Morning, and Ebay, to search for more Cotton-Ease yarn. At last count, I have 72 skeins, eerie since that's my birthyear. Still, I want more, because I don't have any licorice. Knitter's unite, for I need your help here! Buy all the Cotton-Ease you can, so there will be none left for me to find. Then knit it all quickly, so you'll have soft garments, but more importantly, there won't be a chance in hell for you to sell it to me.
I have made a total of 1 garment with Cotton-Ease. For some reason, I can't bear to knit the rest, because then it won't be new anymore. I will try to overcome my fear, and start with my least favorite color orangeade, perfect with Halloween around the corner. Slowly, I will work up to knitting popsicle blue and cherry red.
The first step to curing my addiction is admitting that I have one, so "I HAVE AN ADDICTION!" Now what's the next step?
Sorry I can't help because I'm the SAME way! At least you have a partner in crime ;)
ReplyDeleteLike the others, all i can do is aid you in your time of shamelessness. If only Lion Brand would realize how great this yarn is, *sigh*. Here's to hoping all the craze over this yarn will make them take a second look at this travesty.
ReplyDeleteYou can still find it? Everywhere around here has been out for months. I've never knit with it, but the one skein I found at Tuesday's in like February sure was nice feeling. I say the second step is to buy more yarn! :)
ReplyDeleteLet me just put it this way -- I recognize the little card you got with your yarn from an ebay seller -- so I'm already doing my bit to help you out! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm working on my stash b/c I felt so guilty after buying all that Cotton-Ease. I'm making a bunch of baby sweaters with it, which is fun to use up some odds and ends. I never bought any of the orangeade, b/c it was just too bright for my tastes. But I do have some in Cherry Red, Popsical Blue, Blueberry, Sugarplum, Ice Blue and Vanilla! Some will be for summer garments and one I plan to make is Sitcom Chic. After that, who knows what else I will use it for. Oh and I have some in pistachio too! :-)
