New Cascade 220!

Unraveled Sheep sent me a discount coupon for my birthday, so I popped in there today before it expired and stocked up on some Cascade 220. I’m planning to use this pretty blue tweed for the “Blue Bell Sweater” from Stephanie Japel’s new book, Fitted Knits. I rarely use the recommended yarn for any project, but this sweater is darn pretty just the way it is that for once I don’t feel the need to substitute.

Pics hardly ever do yarn justice, but just because I like to use my new camera I’m including an image of my birthday haul:

I think I’d better finish up my beginner raglan before I put another sweater on the needles, so I’d better get crackin!
