D'oh!

Guess what I did?
I spent money earmarked for trading for yarn (shipping costs) on....more yarn. My Big Lots has Caron Jewel Box and Cozi on sale for $2.99 a skein, and also some decent-sized balls of eros-type yarn and a stubby eyelash yarn. Cool. And I'm not getting paid until next month...
I severely edited the hat pattern, and everything is now going swimmingly. As soon as I get some more projects done, there will be pictures.
