So I finally figured out what to do with this amazing yarn I got from that “other” yarn boutique, Purl, and, here we go. Decision well made, I think. I can’t remember the exact brand name, but it had a picture of a sheep named Andy on it, which caused me to subconsciously create backup plan D, in which I forsake the gritty New York life in exchange for a nice piece of land where I too can raise my own Andy with an endless supply of fantastically colored yarn at my disposal with which to create the yet-unrealized masterpieces of my life! It is expensive, but can one really put a price-tag on this kind of inspiration? Or coloring?

Also worth noting: they look really fabulous with my nails.
PS. For all you other manic, obsessive types out there, I have discovered the joys of sewing/quilting. Whiling away the wee hours of the night sewing endless tiny strips together is as good as it gets. More on that to come.
