Let the planning begin!
My KnitPicks color cards finally arrived, so I'm excited to start sketching for the boy's fair isle hat. I was extra surprised to discover that I'd also ordered Ann Budd's Handy book of Patterns (to get over the $30 free shipping bump, of course). Score one for over-exhausted-knitter brain!
The cards are for Palette, Merino Style, Andean Treasure/Sierra, Wool of the Andes, and Andean Silk/A.S.
Twist.
I didn't get cards for some of their "finer" yarns, like the cashmere blends, because I didn't think I'd be using them anytime soon--but now I'm wishing I had because I think I'm going to make a scarf for my MIL (because I don't already have enough projects). Of course, for that project, I'm willing to "wing" the color choice. Oh, I also ordered a few patterns that I've had my eye on. This shell, the super cute felted backpack, and such a beautiful sweater.
Okay, I'm off to break out the graph paper! :)

Your eye pillow looks wonderful!! Such luxurious yarn and the lavender will be such a nice touch. What a great gift! And I'm so glad you finally got your Knit Picks color cards. My Knit Picks order finally arrived yesterday, too. :-) I love when you "forget" about the major part of your $30 purchase to qualify for free shipping! It's like getting an unexpected gift!
