I made a major decision today. I'm not going to buy anymore yarn for a while. Big huh! Johnny was really surprised. Pleased, but surprised. Johnny, Elara and I all need new scarves, and gloves. They need new hats and I just want a new hat... imagine that. I was online looking for patterns to make these lovely winter items and I was thinking what kind of yarn I was going to get for each one and was getting all excited when it dawned on me. I keep buying yarn and I keep buying yarn, but i never do anything with it because when I decide to do a specific pattern, I go buy more yarn for it! I I decided to chose my patterns to match yarns that I already have and to use up at least half of my stash before I get more. It will be great for our budget! I probably won't need to get any needles or crochet hooks for a while to, I have just about ever size you could want! Johnny got me the beautiful Interchangeable Harmony wood needle set for Christmas last year! (I kinda picked it out, and a Ton of yarn to go with them....) They are so pretty and knit amazingly!
So I have decided to to make myself the Stolen Moments Wrap by Amy Swenson. I found the pattern on my new Ravelry account. (I love Ravelry btw) It is a simple lace wrap, I'm making it out of Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Bulky in Blackberry. One of the Christmas yarns. That is it in the picture of the needles. I really like how it is turning out so far. I can't wait to finish it and have it blocked!
Now I just need to pick the other patterns, I have had a good time going through all my yarn to figure out what I have and what I can do. I have lots of purple yarn...Elara gets purple!~

I like purple. I think Elara and purple go well together.
That wrap is pretty. If you feel the need to make a second one for your dear friend, Cassie, she probably would not complain.
Hmmmm, we will have to see. I think that I owe Johnny at least a pair of ninja gloves first. He has been wanting a pair for like 3 years. He did get one a few years ago though!
