Deciding on a yarn....an obsession

Sometimes I get so absorbed in deciding on what yarn to use for a project...it can consume me...I see the possibilities while I drive, work, ugh!!! Not that I use anything extraordinary...(not yet anyways as most of my "cool" yarn like manos, noro, DBliss, is sitting in my stash, aging like fine wine) Just finding that perfect yarn can drive me crazy. Once a decision is made...I can relax...

So, I've done just that...for now! I've joined a KAL Behind the Times and I think everyone is starting on the Clapotis from Knittytm..

Originally I wanted to use Sock Garden in Pansy. Since I am making a scarf sized one, not the full width and not sure on the length, I could probably adjust to use this. Some people have with good luck. But I really want to use it for socks...so socks it will be.

But, me...I fell in love with this yarn after I saw it up for a swap from my Knittytm Holiday Secret Pal and bestest swap mate SharonP. I thought, definately a scarf...maybe a hat?? Luck was with me as I was online at the same time and saw her post and requested...I wanted it all. So I have 4 skeins of this to make a medium/mini clapotis with.

Anyone else out there get yarn obsessed???? Inquiring minds want to know!
