What makes leaving the house at 35 weeks pregnant worthwhile?

A phenomenal deal on yarn!
My local yarn store was having their annual holiday sale today, and everyone that arrived drew out of a bag to determine their yarn discount amount. Discounts started at 20% and went up to one piece of paper with 75% off. Guess which lucky lady got the 75% discount! I went a little nuts, but I doubt I'll ever be in this good of a purchasing position again. Here's what followed me home.

Kidsilk Haze for Brie, Cascade 220 for two BUC hats, and 1 skein of Opal sock yarn

4ply Soft and Lurex Shimmer for Florentine

Handknit DK for a Lacy Sweater and Sweet Pea from MinnowKnits, Too

Wool Cotton and 4 ply Soft for Marshall, Truelove, and the Child's Smock in Debbie Bliss's Knitting Workbook

Yorkshire Tweed DK for Clark

Other than a coat to go with the Sweet Pea dress (there wasn't enough yarn in the color I needed), I think I have all of my projects purchased and lined up for the next year! Now I'm really trying to clear out the Christmas knitting to make room for some new projects. Hopefully I'll have another FO (or two) in the next couple of days.
