A little while ago, a woman in my knitting group accidently
bought a lot of yarn through an online shop. She was recovering from a sickness
and on medication when she did it. She didn’t realize what she had done until
later. I admit I laughed at her story. She got some amazing yarn, so it was a
happy ending. It was an odd story but I thought it was her unique story.
…Until I accidently bought yarn.
No medication or sickness was involved. I was completely
cognizant. So it started, like most things, with Facebook. One of my favorite
online yarn shops, Jimmy Beans Wool, put up a post on mill end Cascade 220 on
sale. I hopped over the site and browsed. And I admit, I added stuff to my
cart.

One of the thing I love about Jimmy Beans is that they give
5% cash back on purchases. They also offer coupons for free shipping to loyal
customers. So after added what I wanted to my cart, I tried to log in. My goal
was to see if I had any cash back and free shipping coupons to use.
But I missed one important thing. In order to streamline
people’s yarn addiction, Jimmy Bean Wools added a one-click button. So instead
of logging in, I purchased 7 skeins of Cascade 220 mill ends. And like my
knitting friend, I didn’t realize what I had done until I got the confirmation email
thanking me for my purchase.
I could have returned them, but they were such a good deal.
I decided to keep them. Besides, now I can say I accidently bought yarn.
