Adding to my stash and WIP

So, my husband and I went shopping today...the first stop was the Goodwill store to check for some work pants for my husband's cousin...and I found this...

The tag on the bag holding this was marked $4.99, but the cashier thought that was steep! She gave it to me for $1.99! Four skeins of Lion Brand homespun, three of Fun Fur (gave one away to my mother-in-law already, a ball of baby yarn, a ball of cream-colored worsted weight, and a skein of a black chenille with bits of other colors (it is missing its label)! I would say I got a deal!

Then we headed over to Jo-Ann fabrics (I needed two skeins of purple microspun) and found that they are renovating the place, and there was a rack of yarn on clearance when I walked in. I grabbed a bunch marked $.97, and when I got up to the register, I found out that all the clearance items were 50% off. I went back and got more! $.48 cents each! Here's what I got:

9 Skeins of Lion Brand Landscapes in Spring Desert

1 Skein of Moda Dea Ticker Tape in neutral colors

1 Skein of Lion Boucle in Espresso

1 Skein of Caron Simply Soft Boucle in Berry Blue

and 2 Skeins of Lion Brand Microspun in Purple

All for $12.96!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband saw me coming out of the store with a big bag of yarn and started driving off without me! (He hates the stash!) He thought I had paid full price for it all, and we definately could not afford that! Now I have to figure out what I want to do with it all...

Now for my current wips!

Tank top in Purple microspun...

It needs some work, but I am working on the design, so its a bit slow-going right now.

Here is the top I am designing out of some varigated worsted weight that I got at AC Moore for $5.99 for a pound (I got five pounds, all different colors). It will either be a tube top, tank top, or sleeveless top, I don't know which way I am going yet....

Well, thats all for now...sorry for such a long post, but today was the day for yarn deals!

Cables and Lace Kimono Wrap Cardigan Knit-A-Long

So this is my first post because I can't find the cable for my camera in order to upload pictures of the tank that I started yesterday. When I find it, I will upload them...But anyway, I found this Knit-A-Long on the internet and joined it. I have been knitting for about six years now, but I have not done much with cables or lace, though I have learned how to...so I am jumping in head first since my therapist wants me to knit AT LEAST an hour a day without interruption (I'm not complaining!) because of the calming effect it gives me....I am just anticipating all that I can get done! Haven't really knit a lot since Devyn was born, and he's sixteen months now, with Samantha being four months now. I now get to knit with their father COMPLETELY responsible for them during that hour (or more). SO ANYWAY...I am posing it here....join it! Don't be afraid!
