Here's my new yarn basket from St. Vincent (yay 1 dollar baskets). It doesn't fit all my yarn, but it still makes me happy!

I've been working on a scarf from the yarn I bought from elann.com. It's the most interesting yarn I've worked with yet. It's called a "thick thin" yarn, and I've seen this type of yarn referred to in the knitting community. I put them on size 13 needles and am doing a plain k1, p1 scarf. The thick thin does make for an interesting texture. I think I want to get some orange yarn for the fringe (or some fun beaded fringe). hmm.. or make/buy a bright orange sweater.
