Two things I want but probably won't buy:

The KING-fm sweatshirt. I live nowhere near Seattle, and Beethoven is not among my favorite composers. But I love big bulky sweatshirts, and I like the sort of "exclusivity" that this one has. I'm a sucker for anything that shows me as a cultured and intellectual person.

Now, if they had one with Dvorak on it, I'd already have sent in the check (or the Czech, as the case may be...)

A "Kandinsky Kimono" kit (see here.) I don't know why I am drawn to this in the new IK. I am not a particular fan of Kandinsky's work. I dislike knitting cotton. And I really, really don't want another intarsia project (and this project is like intarsia to the nth power). And even though I have the reputation on campus as "the woman who dresses eccentrically" I don't know how many places I could wear it. But I still like it for some reason. I want it in my life. And, of course, it's on sale right now. Sigh.

No, I'm not going to weaken. I gave up buying more yarn for Lent (with the loophole that when I am in Longview on the 15th, I can go to the yarn shop there because I almost never get there...)
