Stashing yarn

Today I went to the three bags full "boxing day" sale. Oh my god, it was c-r-a-z-y! It is a small store and it was packed with people. Being almost 17 weeks pregnant and having to stand in line was a huge challenge (not because I am big, but because I get faint!). Anyhow, I did survive.

I found it a bit tricky to figure out what to get. Most of what I got consisted of blue sky alpaca + wool (my absolute fave) in different sizes.

Back at home, while I was searching for my knitty knotty (which was in fact right on my desk) I went through all my tupperware containers of yarn. When it is in those containers I forget about it.... but when I took it all out I had a pretty good laugh. I am such a yarn horder! Most of the wool I had completely forgotten about.

Here is a picture of only some of what I have!

Before my brother and Jules took off back to Tofino I took a shot of the apron I had made for Jules. It is the pattern from Lotta's simple sewing. It was a quick and easy pattern. The apron is a cotton/linen and the patch is the one I did in the summer.

New hat made out of a silk/cotton blend. It was originally going to be for Mr. B but I think it is going in the "to sell" pile:
