New yarn

I've gotten several shipments of yarn this week. First I got a shipment of Classic Elite One Fifty for Carly's Christmas stockings. They hadn't sent two of the three colors and after calling and straightening things out they sent the rest of the yarn. Then yesterday there was a big shipment of Northampton for Sue's Christmas hat and mittens for next year, and Plymouth Encore for a new sweater for Olivia--probably for next fall at this point, and Lamb's Pride for a future baby gift sweater. That was to get the order up to $60 so I would get the 20% reduction. Oh, earlier I had gotten the shipment of Tahki Sky for the cardigan that I want to make to wear at one event for Carly's wedding in April. From what I've read in Ravelry, it's a tricky pattern and will require my constant attention so as not to make mistakes.

I was able to continue on my periwinkle pullover at Ken's tennis match last night and then while we watched a show afterwards. It's coming along nicely. I'm working on the upper back at the moment. One thing that I've noticed is that the purl stitches are better defined when I'm working back and forth rather than in the round. Go figure--
