I can tell I've been stressed.

Last week, I ordered the Noro "Blossom" for the Bloom shawl. I've been waiting impatiently on it, even though I really should not start something new and really do not have much time to knit. (I got color "10" which is a much darker blend with mostly blues. I thought it would look good with jeans as well as with some of my dresses and skirts).

And now, today, I gave in and ordered something I've been looking at for several days: Aubergine. I'm a sucker for trying out new fibers and new combinations. And I think I'm still experiencing a little goth hangover from the weekend, that deep purple REALLY appeals to me. It will become a shawl, eventually, perhaps the Pemberley shawl.

In the interest of full disclosure, I must reveal I ordered some of the Sisik Elann had up today, too - this time, I bought ENOUGH for the gansey. It will be dark blue instead of spruce colored, but that's okay. I've been wanting to try out Sisik and I've been wanting a blue pullover.

I know when I want to buy a ton of stuff, that means I need to try to withdraw a little and take some time for myself. Maybe Sunday afternoon I can do that...
