new yarn


I cannot WAIT to get to this yarn. My mother picked it up at the local dollar store (they're going out of business to retire) and it's beautiful. I don't know if I'd have picked it out, but I'm looking forward to making something -- anything -- with it. I wonder if I should try a throw or maybe something along the lines of a poncho. I would use the throw more, but -- Oh! I don't know!! The possibilities are endless and the mind boggles. :)

I would love to find more affordable kinds of yarn to experiment with, but yarn is just too doggone expensive nowadays. I mean, almost $7 for a skein, depending on what it is and who's it is??!!! Ridiculous. How on earth can a fabric other than chenille or angora...possibly...be so costly? Hmmmm....

No matter. This was on sale and it was a "too good to pass up" deal. I'm glad she didn't pass on it! :)

off to discover what this yarn will become....
