even yarn

you all saw the beautiful (lol) scarf that i began knitting recently. well, i had this new plan as far as knitting is concerned, and that was to buy the yarn as needed. what has happened in the past (when we actually had extra money ;)) when i was at a store with yarn, i would carefully look through all the yarn. if i found some that i really liked, i would go ahead and buy it and think "i just might want to make a sweater out of this, so i better get a couple of rolls" (if it was at all reasonably priced). well, now in our "poor" days, we just don't have a lot of extra money for me to go off buying 10 rolls of yarns...so, i decided a better plan would be, instead of buying 10 rolls of a particular yarn i liked and never getting around to making anything wonderful with it, i would just buy one roll and when i began my beautiful project, i could buy another ball when needed. well, i've learned this might not be the best way to do it. let me just say, i have absolutely been loving the yarn in the scarf...so, i got through one ball and begged ryan to take me to michaels to get another one. so, after much groveling, ryan finally took me last night and you'll never believe what happened. the yarn was gone! gone, i say! and it had only been like 3 days since i bought the other ball and there was TONS of it... i walked around and around and around, thinking maybe they had reorganized, but NOTHING! so, i pouted and decided i would just have to get a different yarn and start a new project (it's not like i don't have enough going already)....so, i picked out three different yarns that i liked and decided i'd get all of them, "to make up for the never to be finished beautiful scarf i've been working on..." then it hit me, like a word from above "samantha, look at the clearance yarn!!" so, not wanting to ignore the voice, i decided to do just that, and walked over to the clearance section and low and behold there were three balls of my yarn just sitting there all by themselves, screaming "buy me! buy me!" i picked one up and saw that it was on sale for $2 (for those of you who aren't yarn buyers-that is superSUPER cheap for good yarn)...and three balls were just what i needed to finish my scarf. and you know what i remembered? God cares about even the little, not even all that important things in my life.....
