Right place, right time
Right thing - yarn.
Right color - pale blue.
Right variety - merino sport weight.
Right price - 1€ per skein.
So I bought twelve skeins. I likely would have bought them out completely but I couldn't hold any more. I'm considering going back tomorrow for the rest.
Now I need to find the right project.

You go girl! I like to see some gratuitous stash enhancement. ;-P
Mmmmmmmm...it sounds delicious. Can't wait to hear what you decide to make.
Psst - Lisa. If you want to learn how to make socks, check out this book on Amazon.com - "Sensational Knitted Socks" by Charlene Schurch. It gives you instructions for every pattern imaginable as well as size charts and a wonderful first sock project that she gives her students.
Lisa, I've never knitted socks in my life...it's something I want to learn...so I'm not any good at giving sock advice but Sue is. Sue is the sock queen. I'm not shocked at $48 a skein for cashmere. It's wicked expensive. I'm happy with a cashmere/merino wool blend and even that's out of my league unless it's on sale.
Shoeless One, as it stands now some of the yarn is going to be used to knit a blanket for Zea's baby. I've started her a blanket twice now and don't like how it's turning out. First it was the pattern that wasn't turning me on and now I think it's the yarn that's not doing it for me. I found another pattern I like and I'm going to try it with this yarn. And if I have some leftover, which I think I will, I think I'll knit myself a scarf.
there is a hooded, pullover sweater in Yarn Girls Guide to Simple Knits that you could make. . . email me if you want me to send a copy of instructions!
Dix - I have a gorgeous pattern for a little girl's blanket. It's white with pink, yellow, green, and blue daisies embroidered in yarn on top. I've been dying to make it for a little girl. I may just have to start it for Zea.
Lisa - BWAHAHAHA! You are so right.
