I resisted.
So I got to the yarn section and started searching. I had no idea what colours I was looking for, only that I wanted one with at least two shades. I searched to no avail, until I noticed up on the tops of the shelves (where they keep these weird milk-crate things filled with extra balls) a striking colour pattern.
So of course using my go-go-Gadget arms I reach up and fling it down. And not only is it the most beautiful colour combo ever (gold, navy and violet), but it is eco-friendly wool! I knew automatically it was going to be a ridiculous amount of money but I did not even care because it was perfect.
Anyway, I didn't realize until I got out of there that it was only $2.75 a ball! Which is like the cheapest ball of wool I ever purchased, so I'm hoping when I go back there will be more for me to purchase. I'm thinking of mastering the mitten. Or the toque, I haven't decided yet.
The moral of this story is that I've started a new scarf and it's beautiful and eco-friendly (made in Canada wool too!) and will only cost me $2.75. You should all get on the knitting band wagon.

I think you should knit poli sci scarfs, Marland would like those, he strikes me as a scarf wearing sort of man.
the only reason why I'm leaving this comment is because I think that you'll get a little laugh out of it. haha.
So, I was staring at that picture for what seemed like forever, trying to figure out why you were talking about knitting scarves when clearly you had moved on to kniting beautiful mokasins! hahaha! But then, sadly, I realized that the mokasin was only a figment of my imagination and that it was really only a ball of yarn! :P
