It is not just you. I am still lusting after a cashmere scarf that I made for my sister. The color was so perfect, the yarn so soft and pattern beautiful. I could barely part with it.

I think there was one in a KnitScene. I'm not at home now, but can check later. It might have been the Valentine issue from last year. It was a baby skull and cross bones set.
