My BIG Score at Tuesday Morning!

Do you have a "Tuesday Morning" in your area?

They are a closeout retailer,

specializing in home decor, 

but they carry lots of other items too.

The trick is to visit them regularly,

because their inventory changes

often and fast.

Just because you see something there 

on one visit, 

doesn't mean you'll see it next time you go.

If you are a knitter, you know what kind

of treasures you can find there.

I scored really big this week!!!

I am always on the lookout for

novelty yarns to add to my

FUSION Yarns.

I must have hit it just right 

because look what I found!

I bought all they had...

26 balls in seven different colors

of Trendsetter Yarns, JOY.

This color way is "Flower Garden."

Isn't that fitting?

It's a fun yarn with little flags, 

which can add wonderful textural interest 

to a knitting project.

And look at the savings!

I also picked up 3 colors of a bamboo ribbon with some metallic.

These are the kind of sales that make my heart sing!

Be sure to visit buttermilk cottage.com

and see what I do with these!

On My Needles Today...

I have started a new,

BIG 

project!

This type of project always starts with me pulling

yarns from my stash.  

My inspiration is from several skeins of a

sea foam green, wool and mohair blend.

That will be my "main color."

Then I pull any color that works with it, 

especially paying attention to getting

as much textural variation as I can.

Differences in yarn weights

are not a factor.

Aren't the colors gorgeous knitted together?

My plans are for this to become a 3/4 length jacket.

Of course at this stage, the project is always

subject for a change of heart.

This piece is one half of the back...

so it's early yet!

This will be an ongoing project for a few weeks.

I'll keep you posted!

Happy knitting!
