So, there were four more balls of yarn from the St. Helena spree to explain. The first is the Autumn colored Rio de Plata. This is simply because I have another ball and felt it wasn't quite enough to use for something. I'd had a hard time finding this again in the right color, so I snatched it up. Perfectly understandable--right? (No sale on this one) The next was simply gorgeous and it was in the $4 bin. I have worked with this once before and it is gorgeous to handle. Then comes the pink Merino Frappe, also $3. I have been eyeing this for a year or more. I have a cape pattern that takes two balls and my yarn store carries it in this color, so eventually I'll get another ball to make that cape. And last, the aqua cotton Linie 12 Clip, just because the color was lovely for $3.*sigh* Major weak moment, I guess!
On the more encouraging front--a finished object! A purse made from Crystal Palace Deco Ribbon. It took two balls and you can get the pattern free online. I decided to line it and embellish it with this vintage fabric I found in the free bin at SCRAP a while back. I'm pretty pleased with the results. Now, to find it the proper home...
