Cheap Yarn Love...

I'm a yarn addict, this I know. I buy up yarn with no idea of what to use it for. This is especially true when I see cheap yarn. Not cheap as in poor quality, but cheap as in $1 a skein. My local dollar store sells yarn quite a bit. Usually it is the fun-fur novelty stuff. That does not deter me from buying, though. I recently came across some yarn I just had to have. I'm looking for suggestions on what I should make with it.

First up is 2 skeins of Bernat Soft Boucle in teal twist. 5 oz skeins.



Next up is 3 balls of Lion Brand Incredible ribbon yarn in autumn leaves. 110 yards each. The label of these has a scarf pattern on them using a K hook, which I might make if I don't come up with something better.

The stash and other info

I have been trying to post for days, but blogger had my blog marked as spam. Which means I could not make posts. Now, that dirty little mess has been taken care of, I'm ready to post.

First up, I went through and organized my stash. I really needed to see what I had and to get all the types together as well as I could.

Big basket of misc acrylics and half skeins:


Cottons:


Whole skeins acrylic:


Novelty, fun fur, small fuzzy skeins:


Current project basket:


Now to finish the shawl that I keep putting off so I can get something new in the current project basket.

I have a few people ask about writing a pattern to the tea bag holders to post. I plan on doing that as soon as I'm finished with this shawl.

My 'August projects' list looks so empty. But, once again, I plan on filling it as soon as the shawl is done.
