I got to spend $20 on knitting paraphernalia today! I got a GIGANTIC skein of Phentex Worsted that reminds me of strawberries, chocolate and cream, a small skein of Patons Silk Bamboo in a gorgeous dark teal, and a pair of 4.5 mm aluminum needles. Woots! I am immensely pleased. I haven’t been able to buy knitting supplies for tooooo long. <3
