D'ya wanna see what I got???
Last Saturday my hubby and I got out of town and went to Ashland for an afternoon to clebrate our birthdays (just 1 week apart). He is such an understanding husband and knew that I needed a yarn fix. So, he took me to The Websters in Ashland, OR and pretty much left me alone to browse, fondle, sniff, contemplate, and imagine all the different things I could make out of all the different yarns, and specialty fibers that they have there. This is part of what I came home with.....
The picture just doesn't do the yarn justice. It is so hard to get a true representation of the color. I guess I just need to keep practicing with my camera. I seems like I was very attracted to the aqua colors at the shop.
I'm going to use the above 2 yarns to make a scarf. The clerk at the store suggested knitting 2 rows with the yarn (GGH Espirit - # 13 in this link). and then 2 rows with the Tartalette ribbon
(color #641).
I'm going to use the Amelie and Rialto yarns knitted together for a slipped stitch scarf. I chose the GGH yarns because they are oh so heavenly soft. They are going to feel so wonderful keeping my neck warm on a cold day.
I was planning to use these 2 yarns for a small knitted bag. The example in the store was knit with ribbon, and they had loops of ribbon at the top (very girly). I'm thinking I might use the Classic Elite Premiere yarn for the bottom of the bag, with the ribbon just at the top, and maybe both of them for the handle. Any thoughts or suggestions?? The ribbon is S. Charles - Rondo' color #5018. The colors are very pretty and coordinate very well with the yarn.
This was the biggest purchase of the day. I bought this Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran to make the Cardigan for Arwen that was in the Winter 2006 issue of Interweave Knits. I have signed up to join the KAL for the sweater as well.

They should feel spoiled - today I made Pork Adobada, home made tortillas and Flan for dinner. AND it was all from scratch - no mixes!!
Stay tuned for news on the progress of the IVY sweater..............
