OT: ZOMG
It's my birthday today (29 and holding heh heh heh) and I got a crapload of Bernat cotton yarn (blech) and a gift certificate to LYS for (are ya sittin' down?) $100.

I think...I will purchase Addi clicks and pay the difference, I already have more yarn than I have space for and there's nothing else that I can think of to spend $100 on at LYS...whadda you guys think?

Personally I wouldn't bother with the Addi Clicks since I (and you) have the KP Options, but if that's what you want go for it. I'd buy some luscious yarn that I could normally never buy..like cashmere or bison, or or or....

Happy Birthday!

If you have the whole Options set, you probably don't need the Addis too. How about a swift and ball winder? You'd likely get some good use out of them.

First.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I have both the Addi and the KPs....did I NEED them...'na; but, I DESERVED them!

About the Bernat cotton...don't turn your nose up at it just yet.... It's absolutely perfect for "market bags". I've done 3 of the Green Living Tote pattern from Lion Brand...and Ravelry has about 3 pages of patterns/projects for them (and that's just the knit ones). The Options make even Bernat cotton knit up easily.

There's also a new (this week, I think) group on Ravelry named Market Bags...I'm still only lurking on it, but it looks like it's gonna have some great ideas.
