Winner, Winner!

But I do not have the energy for a chicken dinner! I know, I went from super productive last post, to dragging ass today. After 4 hours of mindless TV and reading, I decided to give myself the day off. (Ironically, I am making chicken for dinner though.) I love the accomplishment of getting things done, so I have to consciously give myself permission to not do anything (at least as much as possible). So I've spent the evening internet cruisin' for patterns. Why? Because I finally made it to Black Mountain to pick up my Yarn Crawl prize!!! I got 3 wonderful skeins of Malabrigo yarn. I got 2 skeins of Malabrigo Silky Merino (one in Green Gray and one in Madre Perla) and a skein of Rastita in Sabiduria. I love the softness of all the skeins, but particularly the silk blends. The fibromyalgia makes my skin super sensitive, so even the softness of merino wool (or *gasp* cashmere) can feel rough to me. All 3 colors go so well together. So I'm trying to figure out what I want to make! I would love a sleeveless shell, but I would A) need more yarn, and B) need more time than I have. I may be boring and go with a color block scarf. I do wear the pink scarf pictured above pretty much exclusively.


What would you make with this yarn? I would love to hear any suggestions! Now I'm off to finish up that chicken dinner.
