I've been shopping! Found a new LYS too, it's quite nice and well stocked but the staff were slightly off with me because I wasn't sure what I wanted and I didn't have a pattern! But I managed to get some sort of help and got something I think is lovely in the end!

I don't think you need a pattern. We are just exchanging yarn, at this point. The pattern comes AFTER you RECEIVE your yarn from your yarn buddy. THEN, you can pick out a pattern to knit with your gift yarn.

oooh, I found some luscious, to die for Tilli Tomas Pure & Simple on sale!! It is *never* on sale anywhere.
I splurged for a hank for my swapee and I hope that she really loves it. It is in the Gloxinia colorway.

Do YOU like that color??? hmm, maybe it is for you!!

I have some of my pal's yarn to show you...then you will know it's me when you get it! I can't help myself, I love it so much!
How would you like 3 hanks of Malabrigio and a couple of skeins of sock yarn?!
It's so very yummilicious, I'm having a hard time sending it away I'm kidding, I hope it makes my pal as happy as it's made me shopping for it!

Little update for my pal: I'm thinking about dyeing the yarn myself. If I can find some easter egg dye, I'll try it. I can wear latex gloves, so I don't touch the wool.
