Stash Enhancement eXpedition! Well...ok Not SEX

Have fun with that title Google!

I decided it was time to pick up the yarn for my planned scarf for the Red Scarf Project 2007 in conjunction with the Orphan Foundation of America. I'd already thought I'd participate this year, then Catherine and Deb both mentioned it on their blogs, and I figured I'd better let my readers know about it, too! (Oh! Deb's having a birthday contest, too, so go check that out...yes, I'll wait, but hurry back!) So in the neat basket I found at Wal-Market this afternoon (neatly lined and with leather handles!!!), you'll see two bits of yarny goodness - Lion Brand Wool-ease Thick and Quick in a wonderful burgundy, and then that's Peace Fleece in the Moscow Magic pink colorway - two skeins from Kary!

It's destined for hats - don't you just love that pink-flecky goodness?

I have to tell you, it's been a long time since Knitnana spent an afternoon shopping for the fun of it. (Yes, I shop for fabrics all the time, and it's fun, but that's not quite the same thing...) I'm still really tired, but I'm also feeling a strong need to "nest" - so one of the fun things I did was to buy some silk sunflowers to add to arrangements on the front door and on the dining room table, to welcome the change of seasons...I don't just want to knit, now I want Autumn to appear!!
