You will never believe this
GASP!!!!!!!!!!
Could it be?
Why yes, it's a swatch!
It is for the Rebecca cardy everyone is making! Not that I see many people around Syracuse with it on, I think I am safe. Oh and it is correct going right to left, but of course going top to bottom my gauge is off. Do I care? Ha!
I wasn't sure if I would have enough........
But I think I'm okay! Yes, almost 30 skeins......I bought this a while ago at AC Moore. They are Mill Ends. Is that bad? Don't care!
Don't worry, I haven't forgotten Tammy, I have 1 sleeve done and I'm almost done with the other. Here is a real crappy picture
Little dark, but look at the glooom outside! Oh wait, I think I just have to wash my windows. :-)
I went to my favorite yarn store this weekend! Did I buy yarn? Yes. I did. I really couldn't help my self.
This is what I am gonna make
a little fuzzy but you get the idea.
I always mangage to sneak in a little more of the curly cue scarf. I like how this picture turned out. It looks very "Rowan"

hmm - I was almost going to yell at you for spelling believe wrong, but then again, I don't think you use spellcheck!
And I don't think it's your windows, remember where we live!!!!

what the h? a swatch? you're disappointing me! i am just about to cast on for that cardi, btw. i only have ten balls, though ;-)
i like that wrap top and the yarn - great colour.

You're right, that does look very Rowan! Weird. And, ummm, yeah, I think you just might have enough yarn for that cardi. It's just a hunch, mind you, but I think you'll be ok. Ha!

is that the cardigan i've been enabling/encouraging or just plain corrupting you to make??? so now - cough up...where's the pattern for that lacy wrap from! i think you just return the favour. (or got me back -whichever way you look at it!)

Lovely projects! I like the Rowanesque photo of the curly cue scarf, and the colour looks great. You have some great things lined up to make, and I'm lookig forward to seeing the completed sweater. Good luck!

WOWZA...That is one big ol' pile of yarn! That lacey wrap cardi you are going to make is just gorgeous. And, yes darling, your ruffles photo is ever so Rowan-esque!

I love the new yarn!! Yummy stuff, that wrap cardigan is really cute! So, what yarn and where can I find the pattern for that beautiful afghan that you have everything draped over? I agree, it's very Rowan!!

Hey, that yellowish sweater looks familiar, is it from the latest Vogue International? Hmmmm...maybe I'll have to go look. Anyway, I'm liking it and I hope you do end up making it. It's something I could definitely add to my list of things to knit, too. I'm also digging the glasses on your blog (they look kind of like mine, although when I'm wearing them they look sort of pedestrian. But that's because I'm old!)
