A few days ago there was a package waiting for me when I came home. I opened it to find two skeins of yarn in a dark blue, and a note from my sister. Apparently her favorite craft store was closing, and since she knows I’m into knitting these days, she saw these and thought of me.
Naturally I immediately raced upstairs and starting poking around online trying to figure out what I could make with these. I’m currently in the middle of the knitting the front of a sweater, in a watery green-blue yarn, but I am starting to think that after this one is done I may need a break from sweaters before I start in on the next one. And I found a few patterns for some really easy afghans for this type of yarn – I’d only need to buy another 4 or 5 skeins in a few different shades of blue. All I have to do is wait for it to go on sale…
