As I said before, I have gone on a yarn binge. But - I am really excited about what I bought and my urge to shop seems to have lessened.
What I am most excited about is the colourmart superfine merino dk that came in the mail today. I got it at a good price and it feels so soft. It is a lovely colour too. And I bought it with a purpose in mind: to knit a cardigan that caught my eye from the Debbie Bliss cashmerino DK pattern book. I bought the pattern book specifically for this pattern (although there are some other nice ones in it too - like the lovely, lovely Alpine cardigan).
The Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns by Barbara Walker that I ordered of Amazon US also came in the mail this week. Packages from Amazon US seem to take ages to arrive. I love it already - I want to knit a scarf for my dad's partner for her birthday and I think I am just going to pick one of the lace patterns for it.
So with all the cotton and sock yarn I bought this months, I am more than happy with my stash acquisitions and have lots of lovely projects to look forward to.
