Hey, Fabric Connection and Joshua have the same birthday! He's also 1 tomorrow!!!I will have to celebrate by buying yarn.

[dandelions2]

Ack! Wish I had known that yesterday! ;)

[FabriConnection]

You ladies are killing me, half my orders from this morning are dyed yarns :lol:

[pmcgary]

well what do you expect...and I haven't even placed an order yet!

[CraftyMommaOf2]

I had to get in on this one!!! I haven't gotten to try anyone's yarns yet :pink

[pmcgary]

Okay, I want to try some of the Bartlett's...but alas my 2 1/2 year old is out of diapers!!! What else could I knit with it...and then how much yarn would I need.....

I was thinking maybe sweaters for all three of my kids, but I haven't a clue how much yarn I might need (kids are 7, almost 5 and a small 2.5 year old) Or should I just get enough for a sweater for myself?

[FabriConnection]

If you're wanting 2 ply just get a patter and see how much yardage you need for worsted weight yarn. My dd's raglan sweater took 7.5 oz of worsted yarn with a hair left over for a size 3T.

[pmcgary]

You expect that I would be organized enough to actually have a pattern?

Actually, I may have one in mind......

[FabriConnection]

Well, I can look through my raglan book and give you a good guesstimate if you want. :lol:

[pmcgary]

Gee I just checked your site and there are only 3 skeins of the Bartlett's 2 ply left!!!!

And here I was thinking it was time to order enough to knit a sweater for myself. I have some other wool I could use for sweaters for the kiddos. But I think I would need 4 or 5 of the Bartlett's for a sweater for myself.

[FabriConnection]

Eh, I have more ordered :lol: I always have more ordered :lol: :lol:

[pmcgary]

Okay, I want 5 but the cart won't let me take more than 3 right?

What should I do?

[pmcgary]

My order arrived today - I love the yarn and it is for me not for soakers.
Am I nuts and the only one who loves the smell of wool? I remember a sweater I got where I used to work that customers kept bringing back b/c it "smelled". I loved the smell....MMMMMM wool.....

Now to figure out what I want to make...I am thinking of leaving the yarn natural and making a cabled sweater.......Of course that means I probably won't have it done for a year!
