Resolution FAIL!

I had the best of intentions….I was just going to Wool-Tyme to drop off my sample of illusion knitting for the class I’m teaching in April.  I had no plans to buy ANYTHING.

The store had several customers, and as I waited for the store clerk to be free, I wandered around looking at patting the yarn.

I should have known better than to approach the discount table.  I CAN’T refuse a good discount.  Specially when it is on lovely chunky blue merino alpaca silk…..

This yarn was worth breaking my “knit-from-stash” resolution.  I got 3 skeins….and saved 8 bucks….so that sort of makes me feel better.

Yarn:  Sulka (60% merino wool, 20% Alpaca, 20% Silk) 50g/50m

It is so soft and fluffy.  In these skeins are so many possibilities….so much promise….

What would you make out of it?

    That is super gorgeous yarn!!! How much is there? You could make a pretty spring jacket out of it…

    not enough for a jacket, good idea though. I am thinking it will be a scarf or a cowl. Still waiting for the perfect pattern.
