I didnt block it because I like the way it waves on the side :) (Plus I'm just lazy like that...)ANYWAY... so I have like 3 balls left I think. I WAS going to make a matching hat and gloves, but...I'm just not ready for that jump... so I think I'm going to make THIS scarf from Stitch DC because it looks awesome! Who cares if I have two scarves with the same yarn? I love this yarn!
I'm so blessed to have been gifted such lovely yarn. If it wasnt for these kind people that have gifted me such beautiful yarns I wouldnt have ever experianced what it feels like to use such nice yarns! I would forever have been stuck in the hell we call ACRYLIC! *screams*
That's the funny thing, when you first start needlework (unless you have a yarn snob to tell you otherwise and teach you RIGHT lol) you always start with acrylic, never knowing what goodness is out there! Now...I'm not saying acrylic is all bad...I'm just saying that once you go natural fiber you have a hard time going back to decently priced yarn! lol
So now, instead of spending $20 on like 10 skiens of yarn, I'll save it and wait til I get more (which is months and MONTHS) until I have enough to buy at least 4 balls or hanks of decent yarn. Last time I bought a cheaper merino at $5.95 for a 50g ball.
WOW...just typing that makes me feel guilty! lol
I still havent done anything with it, but I've been playing with the idea of making some baby socks and a hat for my friend.
I should have called this blog 'Diaries of a poor yarnie' hahahaha I'm a merino lover on an acrylic budget.... HAHAHA
HAGD :)
