oh dearie me!

I went to my LYS and somehow seemed to slip on my credit card - oops!

stash enhancement

I swear all I went in for was 2 balls of 4ply for a baby jacket, but they were having a bit of a clearance on discontinued stock, and well now, how could I resist?!

especially when the discontinued stock is Grinasgco Tango (aka Rowan Felted Tweed) at $4 a ball, and Shepherd Felted 12ply, also $4 each.

There was a small amount (ok, 5 balls) of Patonyle in a discontinued colour that jumped into my bag too.

Also in this lot was a particularly lovely shade of the Shepherd Felted 12ply, which has already made it's way onto the needles, in the form of the Darkside Cowl

The Malabrigo likewise didn't wait long to jump into use

ilean

this is Ilean (Rav link), in Sealing wax. I can't actually decide if this is red or brick orange? It is very dependent on the light. Either way, I love it.

nothing like a good splurge to lift the spirits, yeah?!

Oh nice haul! Don't blame you at all for putting these in your shopping bag.

And I think the sealing wax is a reddish orange (I have some too...mmmm lovely yummy stuff isn't it!)
