Those goblins have cousins who urge me to buy paints, and even some who whisper in my ears about adopting dogs. Whose is the goblin artwork? They look deceptively cute!

Ah, yes, I’ve met the paint goblins too 😂 The goblin illustrations are AI generated as I explained in my post over on AI Knitting https://open.substack.com/pub/aiknitting/p/ai-images-from-prompts-to-pixels/

You so well describe what I go through, not just with yarn purchases, but pretty much everything! But, yes, particularly yarn purchases since I have a cedar chest full of yarn at the moment. I love the yarn of your sweater. I also prefer patterns that minimize sewing pieces together. My seams never come out as neat as I’d like.

Love this! I am definitely at the mercy of a yarn goblin / Mrs sensible tussle 🤦‍♀️

And I love your three sleeves tale! Good luck getting that third one to match the second one... 🤞

Thanks Lisa. My Mrs Sensible is an old enemy. She knows all the buttons to push. Third sleeve is looking good so far...
