When the AUD hit 0.92US, I decided it was necessary to take advantage of it and go yarn shopping. (Though it just keeps getting better. Maybe I should go shopping again?) Excitingly, my box of yarn all the way from America arrived this morning! Here's what I got....
...a skein of kettle dyed fingering yarn (looks like 4 ply?) in Chilli Pepper. Maybe a shawl? It's very soft and the colour is striking, and I've never knitted a shawl before...
....2 skeins of Spud & Chloe Outer - possibly earmarked for child hats, it's so lovely and soft!....
and 5 skeins of Cascade 220 in Mallard. It's so very pretty and not expensive at all, so I got enough to make a decent sized child's jumper or something.
I love yarn. I'm trying very hard to not buy any just because. It needs to have a possible project in mind to be able to justify a purchase. Only, I have so many possible projects in my head at the moment, that I could probably nearly fill the house and feel justified! Maybe I need to come up with some other criteria....

WOW... I can hardly tell you how jealous I am of your spud and chloe purchase... am busting to get my hands on it....happy knitting.
Beautiful colours, how fun to have some new inspiration! Enjoy xo
Like the colours alot - I don't knit or anything and I want to buy some too! Have fun with them!
Leave your criteria at "possible" projects - it gives you so much scope for fun!!!
Gorgous! How are you storing all this yarn Miss Dillpickle? I too have a bit of a yarn fettish but I need some storage solutions as old nappy boxes and coles bags don't really provide the inspiration I am after.
Mmmm lovely colours indeed!
Oooh I am jealous too..It is all super lovely!! I keep telling myself no more but then the stash keeps growing..:P
Sometimes, just sometimes I reckon you should be allowed to buy yarn without a specific project in mind (like whenever there's a strong Aussie dollar!).
