I knew it would be a bad idea to ever go into that shop. I knew that once in I'd be talked to and once talked to I'd find it impossible to just leave once my suspicians had been realised and instead I'd buy some of their not very cheap (albeit very lovely) wool! This is exactly what happened, corner me with a pleasant helpful saleswoman in a rather small shop and you've got me.
So here I am, armed with four knitting needles and some soft, chunky wool, what else can I do at this point but knit!
