    Coupon spend!

    5 coupons on yarn. I think this is my first yarn purchase this year that wasn't business related and therefore a coupon spend.
    I'm attempting to crochet a cardigan.
    If its nice and I can complete the pattern without too many tears, I may invest in some nicer yarn for the next one, but for now this is the potentially wearable prototype  :D 
    Ooooh, what pattern are you using @CAFGGirl?
    I've made a few cardis over the years, but I prefer my knitted ones. Let us know if yours is nice to wear.

    @thriftwizard 835 miles is a long way for us as well.  There's a reason we don't normally drive straight across the entire state.  
    2023 Fashion on the Ration: Start with 66. Nightdress - 6 = 60 remaining.

    That dust storm looks horrendous. I'm surprised that anyone could see even a quarter of a mile in that! I'm assuming everyone just hides indoors until it passes over, and with 40-50 mph winds it doesn't take too long.
