And, "HOW" do I go about DOING That...? -- Okay...Let's be Honest AND Realistic Here - the TOP Items on THAT "LIST" are pretty much a "given" as being sooo NOT "Suitable" for THIS Venue!! In which case, We'll just move on Down to Those "Items" that ARE! ...Shall We?
Starting with..."YARN THERAPY"!!
-- As in, a First Time VISIT to the KNIT KNACKERS YARN WAREHOUSE...
I heard about Them Last Month during My previous Foray Downtown from One of Their "Business" Neighbours. However, at the Time, it was Late in the Day and I had a BUS to Catch. But, Today, I "scheduled" an opportunity to Check the Place OUT!
Ohhh, YEAH... Definitely ADDING This Locale to My To-Visit-Regularly List! And, hey, They even have ANGORA RABBITS! COOL!
Anyhoo... IT's on the Second-Floor with Big-Bright-Windows. VERY Spacious. - [There's even this little SPA Business going on, just to the Right of Entering?...] - And, lining the Walls are RACKS of MUCH Absolutely-Gorgeous-Soft-Fabulous-Mostly-Natural-Fibre-I-Want-To-Buy-It-ALL YARN!!
*REAL* YARN!! -- Blends of MERINO and ALPACA and SILK and CASHMERE and COTTON and...
HEY! FAIRY-T!! -- I *THOUGHT* of YOU! Wished You were There to "INHALE" with Me!
MEANWHILE... The Very-Sweet-Knowledgeable-Young-LADY working There, showed Me around... Then, left Me "TO EXPLORE"...
You know... I *knew* going in, that I would LIKELY be confronted with MUCH TEMPTATION! In Fact, I warned VSKYL that I probably *wouldn't* be BUYING since I already HAVE so much Yarn... ecetera, ecetera...
And, then... I came across the "Bargain Table"... [..sigh..] -- Actually, compared to My Cotton
"FACTORY ENDS", THIS Stuff really ISN'T all THAT Cheap. BUT.. IT IS rather LUXURIOUS! And, a lot of Creatures did have to get "Naked" in order to MAKE IT all...
So, of course, Right-Smack-in-the-Middle of The TABLE is THIS 4-Skein LOT in My Second Favourite Colour! -- There *wasn't* any AMETHYST! I doubled-checked...
Oooow...$5.99 per 100g..? -- VSKYL said She had just put IT out, This Morning... And, that IT was usually around the $15. Price-Range... ALPACA-MERINO from ARGENTINA... I can almost Hear IT saying, "BUY ME! BUY ME!" as IT "Black-Holes" My Charge Card toward IT... -- I. AM.
SOOO. *HOOKED*!!
THIS is pretty much THE actual Colour - although, in Different Light, IT goes just a hair toward that MARINE-GREENish Tone of PEACOCK-INDIGO...
EVENTUALLY... I "Escaped"! -- Only to end up at The RIDEAU CENTRE to become further coerced into Purchasing more "ON SALE" Clothing!!
I went STRAIGHT HOME from There! -- I did NOT *STOP* at the TWO OTHER MALLS along the Way!! -- Tummy-Rumble outranks Shopaholic-Fetish! ...just...
