No Silk Garden Grows Tonight

Went to KnitWitts tonight because they were having a 15% off sale and I wanted 4 skeins of Noro Silk Garden for that entrelac scarf. Sadly, I hated the colorways on their small selection :( Now I'm thinking I might substitute a different, prettier yarn. Ended up grabbing a copy of "60 quick baby knits" and the skeins of red, green, and white Cascade 220 I needed for the baby's Christmas hat from the calendar pattern. Must remember to use 40% off coupon at Jo-Ann's for next year's pattern a day calendar. I thought this year's was pretty cool.

In other news:

Okay, so it's my fault for not being on top of my game and actually knitting the stuff right away, but seriously -- every project I've picked up lately either needs an additional skein of a colorway that has been discontinued, or I need a discontinued yarn/colorway to make a matching piece. Ebay and Amazon have failed me. Let us hope that Ravelry users will unstash and come to my rescue. ETA: YES! A Raveler came through and sent me a skein of that Homespun I needed for Jen's project. Woot!!
