Yarn Diet
Almost half the year is gone and I'm really happy that I've been sticking with my yarn diet. I told myself I wouldn't buy any new yarn for this entire year.
It hasn't been easy with some of my favorite stores having sales recently. I've tempted myself a few times and even visited my local yarn shops twice so far but I haven't made a purchase yet. Some easy things to help me stay focused are
1. Not finding colors that I like for sale.
2. Picturing my current stash in my mind which reminds me that I still own plenty of yarn.
I might not make it through the entire year just because I know I like to buy a skein or two come the fall but I'll see if I can hold out.

Sherlock
I am SHERlocked. :D
I love watching the BBC Sherlock series starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. I think it's ironic that I'm into watching it because I had, some time ago, illustrated a short comic titled, "The Fangirl's Tale" written by Pat Shand that was about the series. At that time, I hadn't seen a thing about the series except for some promotional material. I thought I would not like the show and yet here I am so thoroughly enjoying it (after I had randomly come across it on t.v. earlier this year.)
I think the two actors work brilliantly together. I love the fact that they are both in The Hobbit, too, and I can't wait to see the third part of that trilogy come out.

Too Cold
When it gets really cold and pullovers, cardigans, shawls aren't cutting it... nothing does the job better than a good ol' blanket.
I might think about knitting a large wrap. Something earthy with big cables all over it.
I know last year I thought about cutting back on my knitting time... but I don't want to. I love knitting. I am, however going on a yarn diet and I plan to only knit from stash. We'll see how this ends.
