12 shopping days 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’t talk about what I purchased at EatSleepKnit during their Black Friday sale, that comes a bit later in this post.)

Okay so Madelinetosh has been trying out some new base yarn and experimenting with colors. I am addicted to her yarn and have been stalking her etsy store when I am able to do so to see what she has up for grabs.

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’t overwhelmed already, here is a little more yarnporn for you. This is what I purchased at Eat.Sleep.Knit yesterday.

The project that I am currently working on is out of Madelinetosh Eyre in Fig that I received with my sweater club subscription. This yarn is so yummy, yes yummy, that I can’t even explain it.
