Thank you all! I left it up to her. I told her I had a surprise for her that I lied about. She told me that that type of lie is not the same as the ones that would jeopardize our honesty first policy. She told me to try keeping it a surprise for now and afterwards we'll process how it felt, what it meant, etc.

Goatee, I think if she brings up the yarn again, I will say I did buy some. If she encourages a project... I'm going to just say that I don't want to talk about it right now. That way there's no more lies and hopefully no more encouraging.

I know she will appreciate this especially with all the difficulties I've had. I know she will see my effort and my heart in all of it. It's my peace offering, to make ammends, and to give my love.
