broken promises

After an indulgent trip to the local woollen mills' factory outlet a couple of months ago I promised to myself that I wouldn't go back until I'd completed the projects that I'd bought the wool for. Well that promise didn't last long and I accidentally found myself back at the woollen mills this week to hunt out a "couple of balls of wool". Yeah, that's what happened last time I went there for "a ball of wool" and came out with a massive bag of wool. You see you can't just buy a ball of wool. It's impossible. You have to buy bags of the stuff as the prices are so cheap and there is definitely no guarantee that they will be there next time you go back there because it's the factory outlet kind of thing. Sooooo I broke that promise to myself and feel quite good about it really. I only have one project to go in the previously purchased bunch, so it's not that bad..........is it? So my next project is to get this ripple crochet thing under control. Under the inspirational guidance of Lucy from Attic24 I am attempting a ripple cushion...in a feast of colours of course as if you have lots of colours, then it's bound to match something in your house. In the meantime, here is a pic of the "ball of wool" that I bought at the woollen mills the other day.
