You see, I walked down to Morris and Sons in town tobuy three skeins of cross stitch yarn. A few dollars only, but I discovered a sale on and a pretty good sale at that ... so good in fact I couldn't pass up two lots of pretty colours in 5 ply Patons, Bluebell Merino, and a free pattern book for each lot.
And all for about one-third of the regular price.
I love the colours ... purple and green. My new favourites I've decided.
For more creative space pop over and visit Kirsty at kootoyoo. Great name for a blog!

Gorgeous colours, look forward to seeing your creations...
I have a crush on purple and green together at the moment. Have fun with your pretty new yarn. (Its always so much better when its on sale!!)
i love purple wool my LYS doesn't have any!!!! looking forward to seeing your outcome!! x
I love that shade of green! lovely.
Oh those trips are so expensive! I knitted a little cardigan and hat for my friend's baby in the green Bluebell Merino. It knits up so beautifully. It's here if you want to see it. http://cottonkiwi.blogspot.com/2010/03/little-bundle-of-scrumptiousness.html
Have fun with all your possibilities!
p.s. My daughter willingly handed over the tulle in the end! She knows it's going to look much better when I do something with it!
ooh very cool. Couldn't pass that up either.
i was just wondering if shopping could be considered creative :) I seem to have done a lot of shopping too...Maybe between tonight (still Wednesday) and tomorrow (Thursday) I will be inspired :)...I love your creative finds!! Are they sweatery patterns or other?
I love the colours you've got and the whole bargain business is a pretty good feeling too!
Purple and green is a favourite combination of mine too. I can’t wait to see what you make of your sale goodies.
Oh that green is nice - I am green with envy and want another trip to Melbourne now :-)
Oooh... will you be weilding the knitting needles tonight after that haul?!
possiblities are fabulous things!
actually your post has reminded me I needed a new notebook ~ who knows what I might walk out of the store with!
I love a bargan! You have chosen two beautiful colours too, looking forward to seeing your knitting all finished.
Don't you just love when you find an unexpected bargain!! Hope you find lots of ideas of things to make with your yarn in your free pattern book!
