should I buy that Magie Tweed?

Monday, July 25, 2005

So now that I have the Jo Sharp/Rogue situation under control I find myself wondering if I should but the Magpie Tweed anyway. Budget wise I shouldn’t, but it felt like a miracle of some sort to find it in the first place and now it feels sad/strange to just walk away from what could a gorgeous sweater waiting to happen.

If I do buy it for the stash should I just get the 8 skeins that would be ample for Rogue in my size or should I try to get 10 just in case? I figure that Rogue is not the roomiest sweater ever but that hood must eat up a lot of yarn. I tend to think that enough yarn for Rogue may well be enough yarn for anything I am likely to want to make from it, assuming I use it for myself.

wow, what you’ve been through! I’m glad the Jo Sharp worked out, I never would have thought that it could be the yarn’s fault when I couldn’t get gauge. Now I know and don’t have to beat myself up! And about the magpie, how much do you love it? I try to not accumulate stash due to space constraints, so for me to hord it it’s got to be very special :)

Don’t ask me if you Should buy it…….. cause I will just say YESSSSSSS Buy it all :P
Should is a word that really doesn’t belong in vocabulary…….. the question is …. Do you WANT to buy it?
