AuburnChick's Adventures

It’s been a stressful week in the AuburnChick home.

I won’t go into details, though.

So, my need for a little yarn therapy is certainly justifiable.

The Mr., Chicky, and I are out-of-town for State Cup playoffs.  Naturally, I searched for a yarn store, but alas, none could be found within 30 miles.  So, I resorted to the next best thing…the BIGGEST Joann’s I’ve ever seen.

I remember this store from a couple of years ago when we played here.

I asked the Mr. to let me run in after we ate lunch, but he told me to go back after dropping him and the girl off at the hotel.  That gave me a chance to print 20% coupons.

I headed out.

Oh my, but when you come from Podunk, USA, you really appreciate a good-sized store.

I looked to my heart’s content and finally purchased the following:

Even though the sock yarn was Buy 1, Get the 2nd for 50% off, I was a good girl and did not buy any.  I have a lot of sock yarn at home.  But, I do want to make more wash cloths and dish cloths, so the cotton was a practical choice.  So too were the point protectors…items I’ve been in sore need of since I started knitting.

All-in-all, I only spent $10 and some change.  Not bad, considering the skeins are the larger sizes.  I should be able to get, at minimum, two cloths from each.  I figure I can do some sort of striping theme with what’s left since the colors complement each other.

So, although I am still stressed, the shopping took my mind off of stuff for a while.  In the meantime, I’m trusting God to work everything else out.
