I got two skeins of the &#8220;Yowza Whatta Skein&#8221; in Blue Teal and Sandi&#8217;s Red. I also got a skein of her &#8220;Yummy&#8221; sock in squash blossom. \u00a0The other sock yarn I got was from Wabi Sabi and is the colorway Orchid in Glow Sock. I chatted with the lady from Wabi Sabi for a bit; she was really nice. I wish my camera would take a picture of the right color of that yarn because it&#8217;s beauuutiful; a deep dark purply orchid color. *love*<\/p>\n<p>My rule re: sock yarn this year, since I have a sick amount of sock yarn, was that I could only buy it in yellow, purple, and red, which are colors I don&#8217;t have as much of as the rest. By the time I bought the wabi sabi yarn I had almost run out of money, so I stopped by Chameleon Colorworks and picked up a bottle of the Ravelry-inspired Soak.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Stitches Haul 2010 by Pynnski, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/pynnski\/4393060299\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4007\/4393060299_1f4d3e8fc5.jpg\" alt=\"Stitches Haul 2010\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It smells really good. \u00a0Normally I go with the grapefruit Eucalan because it&#8217;s way more economical, but I do like Soak and this was with the last of my money for the most part.<\/p>\n<p>After we were done, my mom and I stopped at In N Out Burger with my aunt January. Mmmm, double double\/dr pepper!<\/p>\n<p>And now I&#8217;m home, watching crime, and about to make some green Thai curry for dinner.
