Ran outta yarn

So this is a picture of some beautiful Sundara silk lace called pine over gold. I'm not sure really at all what I"ll make of it, but it's lovely to look at.This month I'm making the lovely Juliet sweater with some gorgeous handpainted Claudia Handpaints in Jungle color. And I ran out. Now with hand painted yarn this can be a dilemma, I found one vendor who contacted
Claudia and is getting some dyed for me. What would I have done otherwise. That is the problem with knitting a sweater, you actually need to have a certain amount to fit you. Whereas, scarf you don't. I guess for socks as well, but most sock yarn comes in standard 300-400 yarn skeins.
Sundara yarn had many amazing updates this month and I absolutely binged on buying amazing yarn. probably spent as much as my rent. But that is it until this summer, must be as I only have a $100 month yarn budget.
Going to Manchester UK soon, although not soon enough. I will chatting up some boys and am quite looking forward to this. Although, there is some frustration involved as I actually live across an ocean. And have not had time to actually work on getting over there, permanently. Why did I look for love so far away? Well honestly none of the offers in Atlanta were very appealing. And last holiday in Manchester, I saw so many lovely men, I could have just stood on the street and said lets spend the rest of our lives together, and probably been quite happy with it. I am a bit impulsive though.
Which leads me to the fact that I have to take things slowly due to the distance, and actually hear what the person is saying, which is probably a good thing for me. And determines if the others communication skills are any good. I do find that dating causes lots of it's own distractions and I find it hard to concentrate for my work, and house upkeep are definitely slacking.
