This is my yarn purchase for March, although technically I actually bought it at the end of February.

We went out for lunch at a pub with a wood fired pizza oven as a treat (I love pizza, and this was REALLY good pizza). On the way over I spotted a shop with a sign saying "Yarn studio" in one of the little villages. Of course, that meant I had to go in and have a look around on the way home once nicely stuffed with pizza (review coming later in the week).

After much umming and ahhing over the yarn based loveliness this beautiful temptation took my fancy (and my money):

sIt is Collinette Jitterbug in the Salty sea dog colourway and it is just gorgeous. The photo does not do it justice, it is rather more turquoise.

sNow I have to decide what to make; jitterbug is a thick sock yarn, which means there is only just enough for a pair in a skein. I may have to venture into the world of the toe up sock so I can use every last scrap.

On a yarn dieters note I managed to say no to a yarn shop yesterday- it was a very similar situation of spotting a sign as we drove past, but as we were heading home after a long weekend on scout camp I turned down the offer to go back and investigate.
