Only one pattern was added this week and it was the Guernsey Wrap for the Fourth Quarter Challenge at The Loopy Ewe.
Guernsey Wrap
As always is the case, I have a very good reason for the yarn I added. All of the yarn below is for making Little Cotton Rabbits. The greenish tan on the left is for a rabbit. The reddish brown is for a fox. The tan in the middle is for a rabbit. The black is for trim. Those are all Cascade 220. The ecru skein on the right is The Loopy Solids and it’s for dresses and tights. The smaller cakes of yarn in the packages at the bottom are Loopy Cakes. Those are smaller skeins of the regular Loopy Solids and it takes 3 of them to make one regular skein so I’m counting all of this loot as 9 skeins added.
Yarn Added
In the used category, I finished one skein that I’m using for the background on the Dreambird project. This means I’ve added 23.75 more skeins of yarn than I’ve used since the middle of August. Not the best example of stashbusting but I’m headed in the right direction because I’m buying less than I used to buy. That’s my story!
Used this Week: 1 skeins
Used since mid-August: 6.25 skeins
Added this Week: 9 skeins
Added since mid-August: 30 skeins
Net Used since mid-August : 23.75 skeins

You made an excellent defence on your reasons for buying the yarn you did and I believe you beyond a reasonable doubt, well sort of. Can’t wait to see bunnies.

You did a great job with the colors for the rabbit and fox. Love the bright colors for the dress/tights. I think you should start the rabbit this weekend.

I love the loopy cakes – I have two packs of them sitting at home – they would be great for the rabbit outfits. So why didn’t you tell me to remember to order rabbit body yarn???? 🙂 Actually I think I have some in the stash that will work for that – maybe.
