Upcoming projects
Stephanie and I went to a yarn shop yesterday and I picked up some goodies for upcoming projects. I know I stated in previous posts that I was done buying yarn, but obviously I wasn't paying any attention to myself. 
This is the color I'll be making the cardigan sweater in. I fell in love with Stephanie's, and will be thrilled if mine turns out half as good as hers did! I think the gals at work will appreciate this as well since I tend to wear the same cardigans over and over and over again since it gets so cold in the office. This color will be a nice hint towards spring, too. I'll be honest, Steph convinced me to get the color because it will look nice with brown--my favorite color. Haha!
Since I'm almost finished with my first pair of socks, I thought I'd pick up some sock yarn. I'm starting to think that if I have to have a stash, sock yarn would be the best to have since you can never have too many pairs of socks. I like the jaywalker pattern and think I'll do it toe up. This project is a couple weeks from being started, so I'm up for any good sock patterns if you have suggestions!

Sock yarn is allowed even for those who have put their stash on a diet! check out the crafster thread in KAL's nice, first socks..... I saw that post too! lol
My first toe-up sock was from Anna Bell at autoscopia.com. They are called the badcaul socks. These socks are written for the Turkish cast-on, which I love.
Something about sock yarn makes one want to stash it, I think.
Thank goodness sock balls of yarn are smaller than other projects... I can stash more and not feel so guilty! Thanks for the pattern suggestions!
I love the blue for the cardigan!
Thanks Kathy- maybe you can see it at the next stitch in bitch---if you don't ditch out on us!! :)
