And also, ennui.
John Lewis had lots & lots of yarn on sale today, but it was almost all the colour a cat's diarrhoea would be, had it eaten a violently-luminous curry the night before. What wasn't horridly coloured either had a tacky metallic thread spun in, or there was only one ball of it (and there's only so many times I can convince myself a lone ball would make a nice hat*. I only have one head, after all, and haven't yet managed to lose my pseudo-dead squirrel one).
The few balls that were none of the above are now waiting to be added to the Official Yarn Stash. I have 4 balls of Big Wool Fusion (I think in Gooseberry), for which I have no plans beyond dying a less revolting shade. Actually, anything that doens't make me think "Mmm, urine" would be less revolting, so this shouldn't be too tricky. I have 3 balls of Jaeger's Trinity (one white & two pale green), and two of Rowan Spray, in Seascape.
And then I forgot to put the turkey pieces in the fridge to thaw yesterday, so I didn't trust them after they'd sat on the counter for 24 hours. The tuna has freezer burn, so is becoming soup instead of steaks. It's probably burned now. I need a housewife.
On the other hand, I have Saiyuki up to volume 6, a lovely purple suede jacket, and an Alexander McQueen "Kingdom" (aka the "fresh sweat" perfume)gift set for £25. And cats. And an Iron Maiden (baby) quote in a WK icon.

claire_wain, what pattern do you use for your knitted hats? The free online ones I've found haven't made up into anything that wanted to stay on my head.

It's a Martha Stewart free pattern, and it works really well in Point 5 and Big Wool variants. I knit it on 10mm needles, so the fabric is nice and dense.
Remind me though, as I'll probably forget! ;p

It takes less than one skein, or if you wanted a longer hat you could reverse the pattern, knit it from the top down, and just carry on until you ran out of wool.
