This is just not right! I went through each and every yarn link and fell in love with each and every color-ways in the yarns presented. I am supposed to use yarn from my stash, not add to it! I need to reassess my yarn budget, (which I exhausted these past two months) to be able to get some of these yummy yarns! What’s a knitter/crocheter to do? It’s a conundrum!!!!
