Resistance is Futile

I have no willpower

It is just too hard to walk in a yarn store and NOT buy yarn. I had a New Years resolution to only buy yarn at "special places" this year, or for "special" things. Special places included my stop at LaLana Wools back in March, the Estes Park Wool festival next weekend and the HWGA Convergence in July. Specail things included the yarn for my Koigu Oriental Jacket.

I was doing really well until this past month.

So here I present yesterdays newly purchased items....

First we have 5 skeins of Berrocco Suede to make a lovely large scarf/small shawl called Oakley. Already (barely) started...



Then we have the yarn for the lovely Mezza Luna felted bag from Janet Scanlon at KnitKit.com. The yarns I chose were Reynolds Donegal Tweed in wine for the strap and a combination of a varigated wool from Plymouth (lost the tag - don't know what it is!) and Reynolds Turnberry Tweed in pink for the body of the bag...



Then I simply could not resist buying 7 skeins of this gorgeous Turnberry Tweed in what looks to me like Monet Watercolor Blues. I think this will become the Cottage Pullover from Sally Melville's Purl Stitch.



Koigu Oriental Jacket Progress

Got a lot done the last few days!



I also updated the progress picture on the sidebar to the left...you can see the whole jacket layed out all at once.

Lunch is over - back to work!
