crackhead
Thursday, January 6, 2011 at 6:47PM 
Generally speaking, I'm a well mannered individual.
Except when I behave like a crackhead.
Trader Joe's Sea Salt Turbinado Dark Chocolate Almonds. These turn me into a crackhead. When anyone I know makes a pilgrimage to the big city three hours south of here, I make them buy me several containers. It doesn't matter if they were planning on going to Trader Joe's or not, they have to buy them for me anyway.
You know me? You're headed south? You're buying these. Don't mess with a crackhead.
In the absence of my drug of choice, this is a close second. Same concept -- dark chocolate, almonds, sugar, and salt. Crack.
Mocha Lattes. All the better if they come with a little picture in the foam. Crackhead!
Turquoise? Crackhead!
Le Creuset cookware? Crackhead!
That professional gas range? Crack.Head.
Seeing yarn I dyed made into pretty things?
Absolute, unapologetic crackhead.

Thanks, Sharon! I can probably figure out the pattern; if nothing else, it looks like a variation of In Threes. And now that I know the colorway, I will most definitely be buying! (Don't know how I forgot to check the club colorways!)
I can hook a friend up with those almonds. How have I never seen those almonds when I go into TJs? They look like heaven! (and my crack, aside from your awesome yarn, is Somersaults - especially the salty pepper ones. CRACK!)
OMG, I'm going to be saying "crack head" all day. Thanks, Sharon. :0P
Where might one find the mitten pattern? Also, I find myself with extra time on my hands and would love to help you prepare yarn - whatever the need may be - 628-1198. I currently find myself to be an edamame crackhead!
Holly, Here's a link to the pattern info: http://throughtheloops.typepad.com/designs/2009/01/all-.html
I'm so glad that you wrote a post about these! Now I can hunt them down! Thanks for sharing them, too ;)
Oh, and your blog is more addicting to me than facebook and I don't even knit. Thanks for inspiring me, Sharon!
