			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>12 shopping days</strong> until Christmas Does it count if I only seem to be shopping for myself? Like seriously! Lets take a quick run down of what I have purchased in the MONTH of December (we won&#8217;t talk about what I purchased at <a href="http://eatsleepknit.com" target="_blank">EatSleepKnit</a> during their Black Friday sale, that comes a bit later in this post.)</p>
<p>Okay so <a href="http://madelinetosh.com" target="_blank">Madelinetosh</a> has been trying out some new base yarn and experimenting with colors. I am addicted to her yarn and have been stalking <a href="http://madelinetosh.etsy.com" target="_blank">her etsy store</a> when I am able to do so to see what she has up for grabs.</p>
<p><strong>Tosh Merino Light &#8211; Trodden</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_451" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-451  " style="border: 1px solid black;" title="toshmerinolight.trodden" src="http://www.aknittingaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/toshmerinolight.trodden-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /><p class="wp-caption-text">superwash merino - fingering weight - 440 yds skein</p></div>
<p><strong>Tosh Vintage &#8211; Dahlia</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_446" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-446 " style="border: 1px solid black;" title="toshvintage.dahlia" src="http://www.aknittingaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/toshvintage.dahlia-300x199.jpg" alt="toshvintage.dahlia" width="300" height="199" /><p class="wp-caption-text">merino - worsted - 200 yds skein</p></div>

<p>Now, I did hesitate sharing because I am selfish and would love to keep it all to myself, but honestly, goodness like this needs to be shared! Now, in case you aren&#8217;t overwhelmed already, here is a little more yarnporn for you. This is what I purchased at Eat.Sleep.Knit yesterday.</p>

<p>Okay, so yes, I have been spoiling myself. But whatever!! It makes me happy. Plus, do you blame me after seeing all this luscious goodness? (really this is just a rhetorical question).</p>
<p>Now, here is an update on the patterns that I have been working on. One is finished and the other a WIP.</p>
