Mortgage the house yarn

Occasionally I buy some mortgage the house yarn – the kind that is above the regular budget, but irresistible. The kind you buy with birthday money. I consider La Boheme or Touch Me in that category. I know there’s worse but I don’t dare buy them. What’s one step worse than knitting with m-t-h yarn? Frogging a completed object made with it. I did just that today:

I had bought some LaBoheme to make a shawl. A quarter way through I decided it was looking like a baby blanket and turned the shawl into a scarf. It was knit lengthwise on large needles and had lots of give. I wore it for the first time today and it drove me crazy. So-o-o long, I couldn’t sit on the toilet without holding it up for fear of sending the fringe on an unsanitary swim. Without thinking twice it’s back into three fuzzy balls waiting for a re-work; something wider and shorter. I just couldn’t stand spending that much on something I wouldn’t wear.

I rec'd a comment from Dani that she wants to ROAK me. I hadn't signed up properly on the ROAK database and she needed further info. Just getting the message was a ROAK. Thanks, Dani.
