New Yarn & Goodies!

So Brookielou and I went to the close out sale at Kool Knits today to see what they had to offer... and low and behold they had the yarn we've been looking for! Of course, not the color that we were dreaming about, the so called Cognac (a.k.a. 'Radar' since it looks like her cat with his cute & gigantic parabolic-dish ears), but I did pick up a nice couple skeins of Nashua's Spice Market Wooly Stripes. So what will this yarn evolve into you ask? Why, what else but a pair of fingerless gloves!

This pattern starts with the cable cast on--one that I've never attempted before. That went well for me... I'm on row #2 and cranking away. This will also be my first project that has a real cable in it, so we'll see how well I'm doing when I get to row 5! Wish me luck...I think I'll need it. Hopefully I will have some pictures on here soon!

I also picked up some cotton yarn to do the washcloth both Steph & Brooke have completed, but I really want to get my fingerless gloves done since its been so cold this week. Oh... and I got some dpn's today, some markers, and something else that I can't say for someone's Christmas present!
