new year, new yarn

Happy New Year

M y first blog for the year, actually I should have blog this last month, but was caught up with the parties and ravelry and of course Multiply that I forgot [again!] all about my blog.

So here are the photos of my yarn bought, I know that I wrote on my previous blog that the yarn photo posted will be my last yarn acquisition for the year 2007, but can't keep my promise *smiling shyly* am still waiting for my digicam to upload all the photos on my pc then upload them on my flickr so I can continue this blog.

I like these yarns, they are very soft and like the sparkle added to it. Here are the details of the yarn

1. It is made of 48% viscose, 4% polyester and 48% acyrlic blends.
2. Has a gauge of 24 stitches by 28 rows = 10cm (4inch)
3. It's a Sport Weight Yarn
   
4. Machine Washable
5. Needle US size 4 or 3.5mm
   

I'm thinking of using it for a shrug, and they are cheaper compared to Neveda Skol and Scheepjes Invicta that I usually buy.

For the first yarn photo, am thinking of making this as my daughter's shrug, but haven't decided what pattern to use, any suggestion?

I am thinking of making this next yarn photo into a purse...what do you think?

This one will be for a scarf most probably but haven't really decided yet. I'm looking forward working with these yarns very much. I really like the feel of the yarn to my skin.
