Awesome Yarns

This morning I ran over to Loops South on my way to work and snatched up a bunch of great deals on lovely yarns.  I like hitting sales because it means I can try knitting with things I normally can't afford and I can bring a wider range to my customers without charging an arm and a leg.  Sure, most of these yarns would still be considered "expensive" compared to if you hit up a Hobby Lobby or a Michaels, but the quality 100% worth it.  I grabbed some really good deals today and I can't wait to get them knit up!  I have plans for some cowls that I would normally have to charge $80 or more for just based on yarn cost, but I think I can get them down to $50!  That is excellent savings for you, so be on the lookout this fall for some great deals on luxury knits.  If I remember to, I will photograph my haul before I start playing with it so you can see the amount of awesomeness I snagged.  :-)  I'm almost giddy with it and I wish I didn't have to work, I wish I could go straight home and start knitting!  The absolute best thing is, last night I spent the evening tucking in ends and I never started a new project, so I am ready to dive right in.  No impatiently having to work though the current project when I really just want to go play with the new stuff, instead I get to go straight to it. 

**I know I said I was going to knit from stash, but some of this stuff just couldn't be passed up, I swear!**

GIVEAWAY!!!

As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn.  I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn!  Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does.  That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop!   Before the goods, a recap:  I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year.  I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it.  This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn!  You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it.  Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn!  It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic!  Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up. ...

These amazing  soaps .   Yes, I said soaps!!! I can't stop looking at them.  One of these days I have to give in and order some. I want this  dress  sooooo bad. feminine, country, old fashioned... love. These  potholders  belong in my coffee themed kitchen.  I gaze at them often. So, those are just a few things tickling my fancy.  Sundresses are also tickling my fancy, if it would only get warm! Go visit the party and see what is tickling everyone else's fancy today!
