I bought yarn this week. Online, I ordered enough yarn from Knitpicks to make two sweaters. Yesterday, I picked up another two sweaters worth of yarn at my LYS, Nine Rubies. Plus sock yarn, the only impulse buy. Even though I had projects in mind for each of these purchases, I went a little brainless when it came to picking colors. From Knitpicks, I had already chosen moss green for a cardigan and grapey purple for a v-neck sweater. Then, I went to the LYS and what did I choose? Green for a long sleeve sweater and purple for a vest. DUH. I didn't realize it until I got home. Plus, I got red sock yarn. And I've been trying to get away from red/orange/magenta colors for the past year! Go figure.
The haul from the local yarn store (my online order hasn't arrived yet):
Cascade 220 sage-green heather (5 skeins)
Project: Bluebell Boatneck Sweater from Fitted Knits
Cascade 220 purple heather (3 skeins)
Project: U-neck waffle weave vest from Fitted Knits
color: firestorm
Project: socks for me, no pattern yet

Woohooo! She's finished one sock for me. Just one more to go. I bet that Stacey can't wait to try out all this new yarn.
Love,
Simon
