If you had $100 to spend at knit picks what would you buy?

[Sascha]

My hubby just told me I can buy $100 worth of yarn at knit picks so that I can get a stash of yarn (he is sooo sonderful and I didn't even ask!)

So....since I don't really have any have to make projects in mind which kinds of yarn should I go with...what would you do?

[Ingrid]

Oh my! It mostly depends on what you like to knit, so you know what weight to buy. I'm in love with merino right now, so I'd probably find a project for that in worsted. I'd love to try Andean Treasure for sport weight. Elegance looks yummy, too.

LOL, when I was give a gift cert for $100...lol...I got sock yarn..yep...all sock yarn
But, it's all in what you like...they have LOADS of yummy accessories and very good books as well as the yarn...it's a hard call...if I had another $100 I would probably go accessory/book crazy
Your hubby is a VERY GOOD knitter's husband...like mine...u r very lucky... Mine is constantly buying knitting things for me or doing just as your has said...give him a big pat on the back from me !!

I would search for a few patterns that you are dyin to try first & get SOME idea of what you want...

I LOVE Elegance! It has SUCH a nice sheen and is SOOOOOO soft! Im also dyin to try some Decadence after Julie has sung its praises so many times....

And, if you DO get one book, Id make it The Knitters' Bible.

If you don't have specific projects in mind, I'd say go with a couple of the Sampler sets at least. There are now sets with one of every color of Palette, Wool of the Andes, Merino Style, Andean Silk & Silk Twist, and Simple Stripes. These are definite stash builders.

Brilliant Susie--ball winder and a swift is a good addition, too!.
Then you can ask for money for even more yarn!! You'll need to roll any hanks into balls, so why not be prepared?

I Andean Silk....it knits up so well. It's not machine washable, though.

ooooooooooooo man 100 at knitpicks!!!!! the possibilities are endless!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am in love wither merino style. I would buy 2 merino style samplers

Ingrid,
I've seen a photo of a swift but haven't really checked it out. I'm assuming it is some sort of winder but why would I need one if I had a ball winder?
I'd like another $100 for yarn too.
