I have been thinking of future projects, and I was looking at some patterns online and in mags/books. I have such a difficult time deciding what I want. Sometimes I absolutely fall in love with the yarn, and then try to figure out what to make with it… and other times I see the pattern and then seek out the yarn, or try to see if something in my stash will do the job.

I am planning on making this sweater for Kris

and this cardigan for me, (bad picture out of the Fall FCEK)

but I did not plan to buy the yarn yet…

HOWEVER, I stopped by Michaels to pick up one pair of 17s and use my 40% off coupon… lo and behold, huge sale… lots of yarn and notions… and I walked out with all of this…

Notice that I did get the needles…

So, the tally is:

• 2 skeins of Chunky USA (green and red Christmas stuff for the nieces)
• 2 skeins of Chenille Thick and Quick (undecided)
• 7 skeins of Wool-Ease (for the cardi above)
• 7 skeins of Bernat Denim Style(for the Kris pullover)
• Fall 2004 Vogue Knitting International (great issue!)
• Boye size 17 aluminum needles
• Boye row counters (Bella ate my other one!)

Some sleeve progress to report… a lot slower than the front and back…

Now I am off to read the new Vogue Knitting!
