nollyI spent most of my Christmas money on yarn. Specifically, I've ordered the yarns and patterns for a couple of projects for myself. (Actually, I got one of the patterns at a LYS and ordered the other.)
First, Needle Beetle's Tiger Swallowtail Shawl. I wanted to use the colors of the actual butterfly, so I'm using Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Bee Stripe.
Next is the Great American Aran Afghan. I'm doing this one in heathered green and fisherman Wool-Ease, as an afghan this size requires rather a lot of yarn, and my budget is not unlimited. I plan to checkerboard the colors, probably expanding to a 5x5 afghan, and do the border in green.
Of course, when or if I finish either of these projects is anyone's guess. But they should be worth the effort!
