KnitPicks Yarn Sale!!

So about two weeks ago, I got an email from KnitPicks saying they were having a warehouse sale. So see that I had to work that day, at 10:45 and it opened at 10am I was really pushing it for trying to go.... But I went any ways. When I got there I had already wished that I had arrived about a half an hour before I did. When I got to the door to go in it was already 10:20... meaning to make it to work on time I had to leave in about 10 min. Well that didn't work. There were boxes and boxes of yarn, and fabric (from there sister shop Connecting Treads) When I looked at the time it was 10:30... panicking I grabbed, and looked and found this....

As soon as I walked in and looked around I had wished I had a plan for projects and yarn to look for, but seeing that I didn't I looked for what I thought I could use.

This is a feather weight yarn, great for lace... never used it before and thought it was a great time to try.
 
This is called Crayon yarn, I made a scarf out of this for some friends and thought it would be nice to make another one!!

This is great sock yarn!!
 
And this is called Comfy Sport yarn... not so sure what I am going to do with this but it is so SOFT!!

There great deal was $12.90 per lb. for yarn and $2.80 for fabric!! Great deals!! When I stepped into line to get it weighted and pay.... it was 10:45...the time I had to be at work. So I called work to let them know that I would be late. I finally got out the door around 10:50 and headed to work. Though I was late, it was worth the trip to get some great deals. And hopefully next year (if they do it again... really hoping so) I will be able to go with a list and some more time!! :) You will have to wait and see what I use all this for... ~RebeccA.

Ella's Purple Gift Basket

Little Ella was born about a month ago. And for her shower I put together a basket of some hand made items for her to wear and use. Here are some of the items I put in...


1. A Binky holder, Purple and white go so well together!!



2.Little new born flats, I got the sewing pattern HERE




3. And then I bought to much fabric for those little shoes that I decided to make up a ruffled three tiered skirt to match the shoes. Cute Huh??

Well shame on me, I didn't get any pictures of the finished basket put together, The only other thing that I put in the finished present was a white onesie to go with the skirt and shoes!! :)

So there you have it, a Purple filled basket of hand made goods!! It was fun to put together and figure out things what to even put in it!!

I hope your Monday is going well
