Yesterday I was able to do a deal to get my ex-husband out of my life forever! In his haste and greed he accepted a discount on the amount of money that the judge decided I 'owed' him that was almost a quarter of the original amount. It decimated my savings, and really hurt for a half a minute. But I tell you, when I walked away from that attorney's office, I felt like someone had lifted an elephant off of my shoulders.
I celebrated by going to my favorite LYS and buying "fluffy fibers". They had their fall "destash" sale going on . . . I brought in some yarn that had been lurking in my stash for more than three years, and in return got 20% off 3 braids of fiber (2 bfl-silk, 1 SW merino) in some very yummy colors. And . . . they had just gotten in a shipment of Schacht carding combs, so I finally broke down and bought a set.
No disrespect to my dog slicker carding combs, please understand; but they are small. The Schacht combs are large, 112 tpi, curved combs, capable of making realllly large rolags compared to the little bitty rolags I've been making with my dog slickers.
Hmmmm. I'm distracted today. Off to Ravelry to update my stash!
