Dear Knit Picks,
Your products are universally lovely, I must admit, and the prices are generally unbeatable. I own quite a bit of your yarn, and none of it is in the mental list of stuff I'm getting rid of. I've given you lots of my money, though admittedly not nearly as much as some of the people in the "Flash Your Purchase" thread on Ravelry. Those people are nuts, even you have to admit this.
But I'm moving in approximately seven weeks, and I'm on a mandatory yarn diet. In fact, I'm not really allowed to buy anything right now.
So why must you be so mean to me?
I managed to stay strong and not buy yarn, even when you and Webs sent me catalogs ON THE SAME DAY.
I resisted the allure of the Interweave Press Hurt Book Sale, because I don't need to bring any more books into the house, since I'm just going to have to move them.
See how strong I'm being? You should be proud of me! You should acknowledge that I'm a good person and a wonderful knitter and I deserve rewards.
What I don't deserve are emails that say, "You know that book on your wish list? It's 40% off. And discontinued. So if you want it, you should buy it now!"
THAT'S JUST PLAIN CRUEL, OKAY?
JUST PLAIN CRUEL.
I will be over here, sobbing hopelessly into my stash.
No love (at the moment),
Me

I know it; if I had all the monies, I would buy all the books, all the beads, and for good measure, I'd buy you some yarn and effex art supplies and comic books. I don't care what anyone says: there are material things out there that might not make EVERYTHING better, but supplies for creativity? Hell yeah, they can make you happy.
