I usually avoid Black Friday with conviction. But I couldn’t resist 40% off at my favorite local yarn store, Nine Rubies in San Mateo. Sloane (dgd) and I woke with a start at 7:30 and made it in the door before 8 am to get that 40% coupon.

Here’s my additions to the stash:

Fiber Company road to China Light in Lapis for the Shifting Sands Cowl.

Malabrigo Arroyo – Marte. Not sure what I’ll do with these 4 skeins. Maybe a vest or cardigan.

Malabrigo Rios – Bobby Blue for Honeycomb Wrist warmers for me.

Malabrigo Sock – Solis. A pair of socks for Sloane. She picked this one out.

Malabrigo Arroyo – Natural. Sloane wants the Lace Back Fingerless Gloves.

Baah! Aspen London Blue – Enough to make a cardigan but not sure what I’ll make with this.

Assorted notions. I’m always needing number 5 tips and could use a second set of number 7 tips.

What a haul for me who said I wasn’t going to build a yarn stash.
