There was plenty of yarn left, so rather than let more than 1/2 of a skein sit and marinate in my stash for maybe ever, I cast on and began another scarf, using the horseshoe print lace scarf. It's an 8 row pattern repeat, 
and if I ever spend a lot of time on it I hope I can memorize it because it's in words, and i have found I like charts better, for lace. And thanks to Kris W, my secret pal from the fall FFBE for telling me that "sock yarn doesn't have to be used for just socks" because, you know, I don't knit socks. :-)

sterday at the LYS, in addition to the goodies I picked up for my contest prizes, I took advantage of their 50% off sale (i know, right?) and picked up 3 of these, for a wrap to knit for a friend's b-day in September...or maybe Christmas. :-) This green is her color.

I also got this awesome tote bag, and when I checked out saw that I received 20% off the 
Malabrigo, it's Deb's 1 year anniversary sale. Since I was buying one that one for a prize, I just HAD to get me one too. :-)

blogs for her Bloggerversary contest, and my name was chosen 1st. I picked the Cascade220. I don't know yet what it will be, but for now it's in good company with the rest of my stash. I love that color. Thanks, Mary!

Have a good week ahead.

the scarves are truly beautiful Nancy I think they really stand out!!! Can't wait to find out what will be left when it is my turn to choose I am so excited, and I am so glad you won a contest too!!!
What fabulous projects and yarns for new goodies!
The heart scarf came out beautifully. I am working steadily on my first large lace piece and can't wait to see the magic of blocking. I checked out a new yarn store and of course had to buy something. If I don't want to buy, I just don't go in the door.
Oh the scarf came out Gorgeous and I really like that oclor too! Reminds me of a razzleberry..lol
Oh what pretty pretty yarns!!
Great goodies - and the scarf is beautfiul!
Beautiful work, as always, and since I don't even have an LYS that carries Malabrigo, I'm REALLY jealous... ;)
Pretty, pretty scarf!
