And... I Fell Off the Wagon

Two and a half months into 2007 and I bought this from Knitomatic's Attic Clearance Sale. At these prices, who could resist?

Rowan Linen Print - I bought ALL 12 skeins at $2 each
Lana Grossa Sock Yarn (100g) - 2 skeins at $5 each
Lana Grossa Sock Yarn (50g) - 2 skeins at $3 each
Arcuna Wool - a few skeins at $4 each
A couple balls of alpaca, merino yarns (Rowan, Elsebeth Lavold) - $1 each
Some ribbon yarn for a Collinette Throw - inspired scarf shown on the cover of Vogue Knitting Fall 2003 - Various skeins at $1 each

I figured if I fell off the wagon, I'd go all out!

In the meantime, I'll leave you with some WIP's:

1) Corazon from Knitty.

2) Lady Eleanor from Scarf Style

3) Baby blanket from yarn leftovers, my own design.

Till next time!

Those are such great bargains, I would fall off the wagon too! :-)

All the latest projects are looking great. Are you using the machine to knit the blanket?

Wow...those yarns you got really in such a great deal. That's not too much, if for me, I'll even buy more. ;)
