Waiting for my new yarn! David graciously approved a $55 purchase of Berroco Bonsai off ebay for my knit-along with Amy. I bought ten hanks of grey/silver (Shibui Clay). I found it for $4.50/hank and I feel pretty good about that. I'm thankful that the Yarn Shop vendor had 10 hanks from the same dye lot. score!
Here's what we're going to knit at the same time (called a knit-along)... fun, though I will probably need to find some shirts that I can wear this over. This will be my first lace attempt and also first garment for me... I bet gauge is going to kill me.
Yet another new project. Why are we always casting on before we finish stuff? I have more things on the needles than I can keep track of. I guess I love my Denise needles for that. So easy to off-and-on-again with my knitting projects. Yes, Amy, I decided to make that tote with the Caron Simply Soft $2/skein yarn but I'm changing the pattern a bit! I'm only planning on knitting the pattern 1.5 times instead of 2 times so it won't be as deep. I also altered the chart ... more on that later.
Pics of my Petunia Tote WIP (work in progress) to come below... just gotta eat dinner before I take out the camera and snap some.

I made my tunic swatch - got gauge more or less - a little extra on the rows but I think that will work out ok. The lace pattern was easier than I thought. All of the wrong side rows are knit the knits and purl the purls.
Hope you get that last hank! That's a bummer!
