Which I am now debating on frogging and using the yarn for other projects; AKA another 3 hour sweater for my sister for Christmas and some baby things for multiple baby girls that will be coming into my life in February.
Also I've discovered that my work, Value Village [or Savers in America] is a WONDERFUL place for collecting beautiful yarn. Such as -
this lovely, lovely lavender lace weight that is going to last me for AGES. It called to me in the store but has since just been chilling out on my side table waiting for the perfect project to come along. I keep thinking SHAWL but then along come WINTER and I move on to my warmer projects.
This lovely mohair concoction [I'm sorry, this yarn and the last one didn't come with any labels aside from a little sticker with a number inside lavender's spindle; so i can only guess at who and what they truly are {I am also too lazy to be hardcore about it and perform tests to see what they are at that}] which is being transformed into a baggy bolero from Pickles. I am tres excited even if it seems to be taking forever [see? There's that A.D.D. again!] but luckily I have....
this beauty to keep me occupied when the mohair is getting me down [mohair doesn't really get me down, I love it to bits even when, after hours of knitting, it makes the tip of my finger feel really weird and waterlogged]. This Cloudspun is what I'm making my Three Hour Sweater out of and I am definately in love. I was lucky enough to buy two big bags of it with at least 7 50g skeins in each. And the way the sweater is shaping up, I will still have one bag left to make some lovely hats and whatnots out of!
Not to mention the other fabulous finds - including some 100% pinky wool from a foreign land - all for under $20 CDN. Oh yes, who's jealous?
