I love going on vacation! I just got back from a work trip with my husband to his hometown. It was a nice break from the four walls that have been a prison because of the wrist surgery. By the way, wrist is healing nicely and I am back to knitting soon. Anyway, we only went for the weekend but it was a much needed change of scenery. While my husband was taking meetings and working, I hit up every yarn shop I could. I bought several skeins of discontinued yarn in a beautiful lavender. I realize that buying yarn is crazy when I make yarn to sell. But, I can't resist a $3 purple cotton blend. I bought so much this weekend to make, spin, knit, etc. I'm sure this wouldn't have been the case if I wasn't totally out of commission just before my yarn tour.
On top of all the things I purchased, on my knitting respite, I dyed a lot of my own fiber. I went a totally different direction then what I have been going in these days. RED! ORANGE! YELLOW! I am very excited about the possible combination of colored yarn ahead of me. My husband thinks I am obsessed with purple, and while he may be right, I am sure there are customers out there who may some day want to knit something for a man. I give in. No more purple for a while.
