I think you did good, Conchalea, even though you ended up purchasing. You've got plans for it so all good..
I went to my LQS to say goodbye to them and they were so sweet. They gave me a couple of notions and 3 FQ's as a gift...the FQ's will be added to one of the projects I kitted for this year so all good. Pretty proud of myself for not buying anything. I'm packed and ready...
