I've been a bad blogger. I admit. But, but, but, I have some fun yarn news :]

Knitting projects these past few weeks have been few. A couple purses [one which will be felted] - but my big project purchases have been saved until this week. My LYS Summer Sale started Saturday! Wee.

I came home with:
. 10 skeins Noro Silk Garden #86 [had 1 had home, still deciding on pattern]
. 9 skeins King Kim in "barbie pink" [my terminology] for the 'ruffled top' in Knit1.
. 2 skeins Crystal Palace Splash [matching colorway to my Shimmer tank, i'm gonna make a shoulder wrap to wear over it in the winter.]
. 2 skeins Filatura Di Crosa Orchidea [bought as a gift for a friend. She'll love it. I taught her how to knit, and she's totally addicted, but can't afford to spend more than a few dollars here and there on yarn, so most of what she has is cheap acrylic. I'll be buying a few skeins more to give her during the sale.]

I went crazy, but there's still more I'd like to buy. I'm just deciding on what exactly I really want.

I started the Ruffled Top last night, and already have about 5" of the back done. It's easy peasy, stockinette. The challenging part will be the crochet picot edge, but I'll figure it out.

And being that I haven't yet made plans for Independence Day [which is TOMORROW], unless one of my friends calls last minute [which happens much too often], I'll have plenty of time to knit tomorrow as well :]

Have a safe holiday!
