When I got home I ordered a couple other things... 9 more skiens of cotton-ease in the strawberry cream for Debbie Bliss's Grace. I saw MJ's done in cotton-ease on her Yummy Yarn Blog and fell in love!! And Lastly (is that a word?) I ordered the Paton's Street Smart pattern to make the Must Have Cardigan. There is a new knit-along and I can never resist a knit-along! And I got some Cashmerino Aran in #604 from KnitWerx to knit it with. It was on sale for around $5 a skien, so of course I couldn't pass that up! Hopefully it will look ok!! I knew after seeing Nathania's done in the Cashmerino that I also had to use it! It's just so pretty! Her color is a little darker than what I'm getting. So now I just wait for all my goodies!! :) I think I should definitely have enough yarn to last the rest of the year!! :) I know I keep saying this, but I am now definitely on a yarn diet!!
I was thinking of doing Mariah in a different yarn. I tried Highland Wool in Claret....
and I also thought about the peace fleece I just got...
But I think I'll just stick to what I was using... the stitch definition isn't as crisp as I would like, but the yarn is so soft! I think it will be a really cozy sweater once it's done.
Ok, I know this is long and I'm blabbering, but I never get much quiet time and I'm taking advantage of it! I have once last thing to share....
My mom made me a Debbie Bliss Drawstring bag from the Knit Happens Winter 04 newsletter (pdf file). It turned out so cute! She used some Baby Cashmerino that I got her for Christmas. She did the bottom a little differently than the pattern. Here's some pics....

Well, that is definitely all for tonight! My back is hurting!! :) Write more in a couple days!
