...but it isn't enough for the Must Have Cardigan... I think I'd need like 30 skeins.
I'm not that rich yet.
When I am, watch out wool producers!

I want to make my cardigan out of this (in Henna color)

"i love this needle case"
I like the needle case. As the lady if you like take and don't use. They make one for cirular knitting needles they don't fit. I put size eleven in needle case. getting rolling yarn tote that more room for the knitting needles. thanks to the lady who loves it. People love to - about things we have live with it

Now we just have to see how multilated my own cardigan willl turn out.
I asked mom (one half of the couple who owns 90% of the world's sweaters) if she had any sweaters she didn't want anymore that were nice yarn material that I could unravel and re-knit (here's my inspiration for this.. I even dig that groovy orange).
She said yes... this could get interesting.
