Curse you, self-imposed yarn buying moratorium!

I want this sweater. I really really really want this sweater.

    I saw this on your Facebook page last night and - yes. Want. Badly. I think it's the colours, don't you? And how can you beat that price?? (oh, sorry, am I tormenting you?)

    I just realized that those are Netherfield colors. No wonder.

    In buying a kit you would be technically buying the finished product, a sweaqter, not yarn...can the hubster buy it for you for Valentine's maybe?

    Do it! It's nice yarn, and very inexpensive. Besides, skinny yarn doesn't count. In fact, it reduces the stash, kinda like broken potato chips have no calories.

    I got my catalog, and zeroed in on this one immediately. The colors are great, and the design very nice. It's terribly tempting.

    Ahem...today is 1/11/11 which means all restrictions are off for yarn diets. The knitting gods will not frown if you purchase a kit today. :-)

    Ooo... I want the blue kit. But luckily a) the kit is not in my size being a plus sized gal and b) not likely to finish it in this lifetime. So those factors saved me. *grin*

    I have been looking at the blue one....

    I was thinking about using the argument that the only way to get the patter is to buy the yarn.

    I bought yarn on Saturday at Kelly's using the excuse it was my birthday and it was yarn she dyed. I need new mittens--the new phone won't work through mittens.

    I saw this and put it in my basket before I could stop myself (I'm also in the stash busting mode). I have the one you originally designed for the Knit Picks palette sampler as my first sweater project for 2011. Can I do two this year?

    Thanks everyone! I'm holding strong, so far (it helps that I already have the yarn on hand to knit Alice Starmore's Oregon in the Winter Colorway).

    Jackie- of course you can knit 2 in a year!
