Something about the cold of winter and the desire to nest fosters an irrepressible urge to buy stuff. My total time here will be less than 10 weeks, but I somehow ended up with a box of 45 tall kitchen trash bags and 6 rolls of paper towels. I don't know how to knit, but I seem to have procured an entire set of bamboo size 7 knitting needles, circular needles, double-pointed needles AND a 5.5 mm crochet hook.
