I BOUGHT YARN!



I BOUGHT THE SILKY WOOL! I WILL BE MAKING MENJA SOON!

Yes, I've splurged and bought my expensive, expensive yarn. Half was paid for by my craft fair earnings. I've already started swatching with it, and it has the most lovely texture - nubbly and soft and almost like chenille.

My concerns now are with the pattern. My gauge grows with every pattern, and I usually end up making a size smaller than my bust. In this case, that's 6" instead of 4... but I should end up with about 39", which is a tad too small for me. I could resize, but then I have the problem of yokes not fitting, etc... I will be making this this ASAP, since I always use too little yarn and I'd like to return it!

But my biggest concern? Yarn thieves!
