Do you ever get the feeling....

...that you cannot buy some lovely knitted piece of clothing simply because you know that you could make it yourself, and what would people say if they saw that YOU are wearing something ready-made, you who are the ideal example of the do-it-yourself person??


I love this scarf, but my superego is telling me it's a no-no -- how easy would it be to make it yourself, bust your stash and have a go with a hook...

Or this cardigan?

(I know that I wouldn't knit anything with a yarn that has acrylic in it (maybe socks, but nothing else), and both of these have it...)

Oh well, this too shall pass, I'm sure.

I did get an idea last night just before falling asleep about a yet another vest, which could seriously bust my stash from some thick woolly yarn... chocolate brown... fitted and warm... some pearly buttons...
