Well, ok, I will buy yarn if I have to

Almost a year ago, my sweetie bought me a yarn winder and swift from KnitPicks, and it came with a $30 gift certificate for yarn. I didn't immediately use it, because I had so much other great yarn waiting on me in the stash. 

Fast forward to the present. He kindly reminded me that it might have an expiration date. Sure enough, one year expiration. Well, even though I do still have great yarn waiting for me in the stash, I bought yarn today. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. 

It was quite the hardship.  I'm sure I will be filled with regret when the box of fiber goodness arrives.  

Today, it if all about the forced shopping.
