I’ve figured out my sock yarn obsession, thanks in part to Snooze. Quote from her: “I mean, you never know when they’ll stop making it…” That must be why I feel I MUST buy it, especially when it’s on sale/clearnace! Um, yeah… and one of these days I’ll learn how to actually knit socks and put it to use…

so, dh and I go outside earlier today to take a walk around the neighborhood (and attempt to avoid the tail end of the racers/walkers for the RACE FOR THE CURE event - of which our apartment complex is trapped in the middle of the race route for this year… good thing we weren’t going anywhere til after noon), and on the way back in, I notice a white shopping bag that someone decided to leave as litter in front of our door (more or less). In it, I see what looks like a packet of Kool-Aid. I contemplated rescuing it, but decided to leave it so dh wouldn’t think I was crazier than what he knows I am… so, he’s gone, and I’m coming home from dance class… I must rescue the Kool-Aid (before it rains again). So I rescued it and added it to my collection of oddball packets designated for yarn dyeing. (dh will usually make 2 packs at a time in a large pitcher. so after hijacking a few to send to one of the overseas Knittyboard members, we had a few orphans that he told me to designate for yarn dyeing.) I figure since I’m dyeing yarn with it, I really don’t care too much about where it has been… if I were drinking it though, then I probably would have tossed it. am I crazy, or would you have done the same?
