the crafting gods

Ah, the yarn gods were smiling on me today. Not only was I able to get the yarn I need to finish a couple projects, but I found more yarn AND IT WAS ON SALE. :)

Nearly 20 rolls, in various colors, of JP Coats Double Strand Royal Crochet thread, which I adore. It makes up great into just about everything from scarves, skirts, vests and even afghans. One of the colors will be a wedding afghan for a cousin's wedding in September. It was half price (1.97 when usually it's 4.49) and will end up making a couple three skirts, in addition to starting that afghan. :)

About 8 skeins of Sinfonia, which is a nice, just heavy enough cotton poly yarn from Hobby Lobby. I love the way it makes up into shawls and jackets. Heavy, with that hint of weather-protection without being stiff or bulky.


The fabric gods were also smiling. I went looking for the backing for a quilt and I found something I absolutely adore...in fact, I like it so much I think it's going to become a skirt and shirt instead! It's just too pretty...I'm being tempted to the dark side, lol.
