Yesterday was a great mail day - I got wool AND fabric!!!
First the wool - I ordered three "safety skeins" of RYC Soft Lux for Ingenue as it seemed that my row gauge was off and I would possibly run out. Not sure I'll need them, but for $2.99 each I wanted to make sure I was safe.
I also bought this at the same time (both from Little Knits) as they had a $25 minimum - DARN! This color's slightly more orange than this, but it truly lives up to its "beautiful russet" name, and for $25 for a full bag of 10 skeins, I couldn't go wrong:
Now for the fabric - all on sale $3.59 with free shipping from fabric.com and I am IN LOVE with the quality of all of them:
3 yards of this - this has Wrap Dress 2.0 written ALL over it:
3 yards of this - I have big plans for this, but not sure of the specifics yet:
2.5 yards of this - I wasn't so sure about this and am still not 100% on it, but it can be a version 1.0 of something I'm trying out for the first time:
and 2 yards of this for another funky top kinda along the same lines of the one I did over the weekend, or a tunic of some sort:
All in all, a good day and not a lot of money spent!
Oooh that Uruguay yarn is really pretty! Love the color.

Oh, those darn yarn companies, making you order $25 minimums. ;) Great mail day! I love the black, white & orange fabric! It looks like a pillow the way it's folded.

I've used the DK version of the russet yarn before -- it cables really beautifully. :) I'm sure you'll put it to good use!

A little extra yarn is a good thing. nothing worse than running out!

I too fell victim to the Little Knits Queensland Uruguay Chunky sale. I got it in a beautiful shade of burgundy. I'm thinking of a modified version of the shalom cardigan on Rav. What are your plans for it?
