About 3 weeks ago when we were out of town and went to a Hobby Lobby. I'd never been in one before and I fell in love with some of their Yarn Bee yarns - I think the ones I got were Cameo and Frosting. I bought around $100 worth, but since I don't have HL in town here, I felt justified.

Ordered another 14 skeins of yard from Lisa's ebay store.

on friday a skein of bernat camo in the orange to make my husband a hat for hunting season for $2.70 after coupon and I stuffed it into the camo fleece I bought to crochet around for a blanket.(as soon as I get my edgery doo). it was my bday i shoud be able to get yarn if I want..

Since I am not yet employed I have to puppy-eye my husband every time I want to buy yarn. Last week he bought me 7 skeins of Bernat's Super Stripes for a sweater I'm making. I am now saving up money to make a big online order on either smileys or lisa's. But before I do I have to go on a yarn hunt. I really don't like shopping yarns online, because I'd rather go to a store and feel the yarn out before I buy it. So I have to go and touch it all before I order it. Then I just have to figure out what to make with all of it

Spent about $30 for 4 skeins, two of organic cotton for a shawl, and two of baby-alpaca for another (cooler weather) shawl.

 

Though I still have a big basket of Angelhair and Beautiful for making amigurumi and a bag with some soy-wool blend hats and scarves in progress.

Ok I'm done.

Last week I bought yarn for the lumberjack ghan.

I also purchased 18 skeins of Homespun for baby blankets.

I will be ordering more homespun today.

Yesterday - Big Lots - 10 sk Moss Green, 10 sk Teal sport weight (very soft, off brand) - $1 each!! I have to admit, I made two trips. First got the moss green at lunch and as i was showing it around in the afternoon realized I wanted the teal too so i went back on my way home! I wish they would have had other colors. I might try the Van Gogh CAL with it. I love it because you can't usually find solid sport weight yarn except in pastel/baby colors.

Yesterday my dd and I went to Hobby Lobby. I bought:

12 skeins Caron Simply Soft in lime green, watermelon, lavender, dk purple, turquoise, and lt. pink, 3 skeins of Yarn Bee Fun Fur in three different colors. I also got some stitch counters, a Knifty Knitter booklet, bobbins, and jean needles, and a few stickers from the clearance aisle..all for $35.

[justvicki]

Yesterday I received 26 pounds of yarn in the mail. I am sooooooo bad! But it was all on sale!!!!!

[clementine]

actual yarn....I don't remember, but my most recent purchases--a mens XXL butter yellow cashmere sweater to unravel, $10, the book knitting lingerie style, and a dishcloth booklet, 6.00

I am stalking the big skein bin at michaels--they are out of the new big skeins of sugar and cream in robins egg, ans I plan to pick up 3 to make a bath mat when they restock:)

[BreaGia]

Nine skeins of RH SS Black.(They were on sale! and you can always us black for something. A bag maybe? 20 bags?)

Five skeins Fun Fur black.(To use with the RH of course! And they were on sale too! Bah I'll survive my hate of novelty yarn to use it.)

Three skeins Paton's Mosaic black.(The were clearance! So what if I hate working with novelty yarn.)

 

I almost bought size Caron pounders today off Joann's website. If only I had the money!

Hi Jenni!!!!

[emsuniverse]

Um... last purchase was major... I bought several Caron's simply soft. Grand total somewhere around $40. Various colors. All for baby hats.

Last Friday from Knit Picks. About four balls of their Swish Superwash to over-dye for the Babette Blanket.

 

Buying about 25 balls of yarn (mostly Woolease) for Babette seems to have reduced my yarn hunger for a while. My husband and I bicycled past a Beverly's yesterday and I didn't even request a detour! Next yarn purchase will be a total splurge, luxury yarn for a sweater, when I file my dissertation.

[crochetluvknot]

i boutght 6 skeins of red heart supersave aran yesterday no more no less dang i did good

[brennae74]

The last time I bought yarn was right before father's day and I bought 22 skeins of carons simply soft in black and grey. I did buy a new crochet book two days ago so that will tide me over for awhile.

[xtremewhlz]

I'm overdue! I'm getting restless....I may not be able to control myself the next time I see yarn for sale.

[stitchgirl]

About a week ago I placed an order at KnitPicks for about 25 skeins wool and some acrylic. Total bill was 51.76 - shipping is free when order is $45 or more.

[OzRebel]

Last week bought 5 skeins Bernats cottontots for co-workers baby afghan I need to start. Before that I bought 14 skeins Blue Sky Alpaca bulky handpaints/handdyes for a cape I have planned for myself... too embarassed to say how much that cost me!

[pianoducky]

I got 6 skeins of Classic Elite Flash for my Sweet-Pea Shawl. I'd made a practice one, but was just drooling over the way the suggested yarn seemed to shimmer.

 

Spent $28, but it's so nice to work with and will be worth every penny!

I will be searching for Noro on sale this month. I am treating myself to some for a shawl or moebius for my birthday. I give away so much that I have been wanting a Noro something, either Silk Garden or Kureyon, for myself. I'm glad to see a few of you are doing the same. I know we are all so darned giving, please take your valuable gift-giving time to keep a creation that really will be your own.

 

Has anyone made an item out of Noro that they just loved? Tell, tell!

Two weeks ago, at a flea market, I bought someone else's stash for $4.00, I can't begin to tell you how much yarn I got...let's just say a lot...my DH said, do you think you have enough now? I said PLEASE, how well do you know me? We both laughed...and he carried the yarn. Gotta love him!
