I was supposed to be participating in Knit From your Stash 2007, but that has largely gone by the wayside. My stash is, if anything, larger than it was at the beginning of the year. Oops. Allow me to show off some of my recent acquisitions.
Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride bulky superwash (that's not a mouthful!) in onyx, white frost, and stonewashed denim. I got it from Alpaca Fleece, who seriously are the sweetest people and have the best prices on all things Brown Sheep.
Apologies for the craptastic picture, but you try and photograph a glossy magazine with a crappy camera. It wouldn't cooperate with or without the flash. The brown sheep is for the sweater pictured above, from the holiday 2005 issue of Vogue Knitting. Hopefully I can get gauge and have enough.
In the future, these will be socks. The speckled Koigu was in my LYS's orphan bin when I was shopping for my SP10 spoilee. The Regia Nation was ordered to make awesome socks for a close friend of mine who just got back from studying in Germany. I'll probably start them soon so that they are definitely done by her birthday. We shall see...
Even though this isn't yarn, I still felt the need to show it off. I purchased that shirt last night. I love threadless.
And finally in non-yarn acquisitions...
1.75 liters of Stoli. It was so much cheaper than buying several smaller bottles. I just felt like sharing because it seems like such an enormous amount of liquor and I felt really foolish carrying it through the grocery store. Consider that the other purchases of the evening were brownie mix and toothpaste. I must have been a funny sight. Party on Friday, anyone?

I'd like to know how that gorgeous Koigu could possibly have been in the orphans bin!?
Bertha -
My LYS always does that when there's a fresh shipment of Koigu. They don't want to mix up dye lots, so the old stuff always gets put in the orphan bin.
I'd been drooling over that color for months back when I still worked there. And now it's mine! :-D
mmm vodka. you should make yourself a blood orange cocktail.
that jacket is amazing! thanx for the link to that shop too!
Cozy yarn, new clothes, brownie mix, and vodka--- wow, can I come over for the slumber party?
I love threadless they've always got kool stuff on and they give you the oppotunity to design your own stuff and sell it!=)
I love that jacket on the magazine! I'd have come over for a party if I didn't live so far away hehe=D
