Laura and Melissa asked about my plan to go to the yarn store yesterday. Of course I went. I was pretty much under control though. I bought a few skeins of Cascade 220 (I can't believe that I've never used this yarn!) for a quick hat/scarf project for the boys. I think it's gonna be pretty cute. The pattern is from Phildar's new Layette catalog, which Becky hooked me up with (I like Becky!). It calls for a fingering weight yarn, but after countless baby gifts and with the Dale sweater waiting, my fingers are calling for worsted. So, for their sake I'll be using the Cascade and mathing up the pattern a bit.

I'm also excited to be trying out the Cascade because I'm thinking that it might be a good choice for the joe sweaters. This way, I can feel like I'm working on that project already. And the boys can have a little handmade Christmas giftie from mom. 'Cause those Dale sweaters have birthday written all over them!
