I can’t resist a good sale

Posted on | March 19, 2007 | 7 Comments

So, this whole Knit From Your Stash thing?  Well, I made until March 17th! 

Knit Nouveau was having a sale Saturday in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, and their flyer said they were clearing out Debbie Bliss and Rowan yarns.  I went, hoping against hope, to find a ball or two of DB Cotton DK to finish my Rambling Rose cardigan.  They didn’t have any Cotton DK, but I did find this:

The ball on the bottom is DB Cotton DK; the ball on the top is DB Cathay, a cotton/nylon/silk blend.  It’s finer than the Cotton DK and it has a bit of sheen to it, but the colors are SOOOO close that I think using this for the neck and button bands will work.  Design element, right?  But still keeping the color uniform.  Now I need to get knitting and get it finished!

I also found these needles marked waaaayyy down:

I have no projects in mind for these, other than the size 13s which I now think won’t work afterall.  They were sizes I didn’t have in circulars and such a huge deal I couldn’t pass them up.

I about drooled when I found these for TWO DOLLARS each!

Rowan Summer Tweed – 9 skeins, which is enough to make this:

Chamomile from Rowan Summer Tweed’s book, but unfortunately – I didn’t buy any pattern books!  My initial thought was to make Cactus Flower from Knitty, but the reality of Alabama weather set in and I think Chamomile is much more suited to our heat index.  I’ll have to go back and see if they have any pattern books left. 

That’s all I got.  I looked at other stuff, but these are the things I really wanted and I was content to buy yarn to finish a project, enough yarn to make another project, and stock up on needles.  I did cash in a full Knit Addict card and got $20 off my purchase, so total out of pocket was less than $25!  Can’t beat that! (with a stick, as they say down South)!

And look what I found in my dresser drawer yesterday.  It made me so happy, I thought I’d share it.
