Sock Yarn Doesn't Count, right?

I'm sitting here next to a bag full of yarn from Natural Stitches, very pleased with myself and the contents of the bag. When I'm at Eastside, to shop at Trader Joe's, I frequently stop in the yarn shop and reward myself with a pair of socks' worth of yarn. Well, Friday was both the best and worst time to arrive there; there is a Substantial sale going on... so I scored yarn for 6 pairs of socks and a hat. Go me (at least until the Visa bill is due).
