I was remarkably restrained I think, in my recent
Craft show purchases. Even though I left carrying at least three bags full it all packed down to one bag of luscious yarns.
In the background, courtesy of
Sarah's stand, we have three skeins of lovely Colinette
Fandango in Nutmeg shade, destined for a top-down, cap sleeve, summer top.
On the left is an little known Chinese brand from the
Prestige yarn stall; Fantasia Cronos, 60% wool 40% silk, going for a bargain, how could I resist?
And last but definitely not least; 7 balls of lovely organic
Pakucho Cotton in the Dk Green shade. This is destined for a
Kitty or
Glampyre pattern.

The only other purchase of note was 3 skeins of Lightweight mohair boucle from Claire Patterson Designs that are to be customed dyed and which will eventually, (hopefully) result in a version of this vintage '60's jacket.

This little leaflet from a St Vinnie's shop has on the back a classy "jacket-suit" called Park Lane. Very sophisticated and obviously designed for a flat-chested, slim-hipped androgyne.
