How Could I Resist?

 

There was no way I could resist a sign that said 'The Yarn Barn'. Up some stairs and round a corner and there was a glorious array of colours. I bought enough cotton yarn to knit myself a top. I also bought two balls of Tulip microfibre thread. I'll have a go at tatting with it, but I remember now that I've used it before for crochet and it's really very slippery, so I don't know how well it will tat. I was hoping to buy black crochet cotton for bead crochet; the Tulip may be a poor substitute.
