Well, it's that time of year again... the John Lewis yarnsale.... I braved the Trafford Centre along with approximately 10,000 other people and seem to have fallen headfirst into a big pile of RYC Cashsoft DK. I'm hoping this'll do for a Deep V argyle vest. Now I have conquered my steekfear. It's not 100% wool but if I machine sew rather than crochet the steeks I'm thinking it should be ok. I think I would also prefer it to have a slightly shallower V, so some tinkering may be required.
I'm also quite excited about doing something with this rather lovely hand-dyed sock yarn that Santa brought me (in the guise of Cat... thankyou!). Look at that fiery handsomeness to warm you up on a cold winter's day. I'm thinking it might like to be the Herringbone Rib Socks in the latest Interweave...
So many plans. I am ploughing enthusiastically through the Riding to Avalon hoodie so I can put some into action. One torso down, two sleeves, one hood, and lots of finishing to go!

I'm glad my decision to leave John Lewis well alone this year paid off so well for you! I did my yarn shopping in Wales this year :o)
ah. that was why there was so much left, was it! Hope you got some nice stuff in Wales...
