New Yarn / Old Project

Now that the Mystery Crochet along is over, I can get started on my brand new yarn... sort of.

I made myself a promise that I would finish two very specific almost completed projects before I started into my new yarn, however, I have since royally mucked one of them up (joy) while grafting (double joy) and now I have to fix it.  BUT... the other one (cutest baby skirt ever) turned out great!  I had so little left to do, but I was being slow because I didn't have any elastic.  Oh, well, fine then, MAKE me go to Michael's.

Such fun yarn!

Anyhow, you know how I bought some yarn from that online store?  It came AFTER my Mary Maxim order.  Don't ask me why, but free shipping also apparently means expedited shipping.  Okay, that works.  Anyhow, there isn't much of each type of yarn - very much a grab bag - but so much of it seems so soft and so neat.  There's maybe two balls of yarn out of the bunch that aren't really my favourites (thus far), so I'm thinking we're doing pretty well here!

MORE YARN!

Already I'm looking into what I can do with the fingering weight ball (it's the one furthest to the left).  It's such a pretty colour and apparently it will make a nice shawl.
