Samples are yummy

My whole life, I have loved looking at samples: of basically everything. I remember my mom getting carpet samples and paint chips and I thought the small pieces that you could mix and match like a jigsaw puzzle were sooooo cooool.

I still have a thing for paint chips; I repaint our home every couple of years myself, out of boredom and the desire to look at paint samples, both in chip form and on the wall from small sample tins.

I had ordered a sample card of Lion Brand Yarn Wool-Ease Thick 'n' Quick, because there is an easy (I think) pattern using that yarn.

But then tonight, I ordered sample cards of 3 other yarns. I almost got them express delivered, but I restrained myself and figured I could busy myself with other things during the holiday period. And then I'll have something to look forward to in the mail come New Year's or so.

Am I weird? Probably. But I love looking at the colors and feeling the textures, and trying to make a decision is so deliciously difficult.

Yummy.
