I am making progress on my shadow cable scarf. I am at the halfway point now. I started working with the second skein of yarn last week.
The lime wrap is coming along as well. I am adding a burgundy embellishment but still trying to figure out exactly how to do what I see in my head.
I decided to start the Twinkle Best Friend sweater as well. That of course is out of necessity. I picked up the winter issue of Vogue Knitting this past Saturday to read while I ran my errands. I fell in love with fabulous lush wrap featured in the cover story on knitting with bulky yarn. I rushed over to Needlework Unlimited and bought four skeins of Twinkle in a soft gray color. I 
figured that would be enough for a long scarf. I was so excited, I couldn't wait to go home a start.When I finally sat down to start working on it, I read the pattern more carefully. In doing so, I realized that the pattern called for 20, yes TWENTY skeins of yarn! There was no way I was going back to the store to buy that much yarn for a scarf, so I figured I would use the four skeins I had to make a sweater. I was stunned that they would even suggest a project like that. Can you image! What would you do with more than $300 worth of yarn?

I have more than $300 worth of yarn, but certainly not all on one project. Can you imagine if you were making it to sell? You'd have to sell it for, at least, $450. Yikes! Maybe it was a typo unless the skeins have only 3 yards each?
That is an insane amount of yarn! How big is that scarf supposed to be?! I don't even use that much yarn when making an afghan.
That is a wrap for the ages, certainly. I am with you on your choice, for sure.
That is just plain c-r-a-z-y!!
