I am rich!
In yarn, that is.
The above is the haul from yesterday's trip to Yarnzilla. I got a whole bag of R2 Paper in minty green, as well as Stitch 'n' Bitch Nation, two balls of Noro Kureyon in #115, and a bargain-bin ball of Crystal Palace Splash in purple and lavender.
Since I have a copy of the first R2 magazine, I have an idea of what to do with the Paper. I'm thinking Shaggy, but without the sleeves. I have one (two?) balls of Paper in pink that I could use, too. Funky.
I couldn't resist SnB Nation - the patterns were just too cute and plentiful, and the price too right. I'd love to make pretty much everything from the book, and I already started something:
It's a Hurry Up Spring Armwarmer (maybe I should abbreviate it "hussy"). Let me go on record as saying I absolutely HATE the chart that comes with it. It requires more brainpower than a chart should.
I am finishing things!
I (almost) finished the Campus Scarf:
DO YOU SEE ALL THOSE ENDS?! I have about 2/3 of them woven in, but I will put off actually cutting them for as long as possible.
I started the above scarf (to match the below tam and upcoming mittens) on Thursday (I think). The wonderful thing about it is that I totally guessed the cast-on number and where to put the keyhole and it turned out a-okay. The keyhole is assymetrical. We'll pretend I did this on purpose, but in reality I realized that I was making a very wide scarf and decided to quit earlier than planned.
The funny thing about the whole white/gray stripe set is that I started on it to use up my gray Lana D'Oro, but figured I wouldn't have enough. Hahaha. That's a good joke! Why? Because I still have a ton of this stuff left and I'm running out of the white. Hahahaha!
I'm not the girl to do your yardage estimates, that's for sure.
P.S. I got a job! This means I do not have to feel guilty about buying yarn anymore.
