Hey there everyone!! As you know, I LOVE the Chelsea Skirt by Cecily Glowik McDonald. I was just talking about it the other day... remember this lovely.....
Well..... I have purchased the yarn for this little lovely!! I really wanted the colour that it was knit in, but, I didn't for a couple of reasons. The first is that where I bought the yarn online, they did not have that colour. So I picked another colour... this is what I chose:
The yarn is the actual yarn specified, just a different colour: Classic Elite Portland Tweed. I bought the Amaranth colourway. I cannot wait to get it!! Then I will match up a yarn for the lace hem. Really... I am so excited. Amazing what some yarn will do for the endorphins!! I have wanted to make this skirt for sometime but to be quite honest it was out of my budget. That is the second reason I bought the yarn online at Webs- America's Yarn Store. Usually this yarn sells for 15.99/ball. I need 8! So that puts it around 128.00US. Plus the ball for the lace. So I searched around and came across Webs. They were selling it for $5.99/ball!! I nearly leapt out of my chair. I thought, "this is my chance". So I bought it. Granted I know that this yarn in the colourway I bought was my second choice, however, it will be AWESOME!! I actually kinda feel guilty! Can you imagine?? I feel like I am cheating on my favourite yarn stores: Spun and
Needle Emporium. But I really couldn't pass up this offer. This yarn is so yummy.... 50% Virgin Wool/25% Alpaca/25% Viscose. I can hardly wait to hold that little ball of heaven in my hand!! Seriously... I think I may need therapy!! My husband made me laugh... when I was looking at he colourways and was trying to decide on the colour, he chimed in. I was going to make it in a mid gray colour, however, he said I "HAVE" to make it in a colour... brighten things up a bit! So nice to know he gives a darn- or at least pretends really well too;) I am a lucky girl for sure!! So I will let you know when I start this little project.
That's it for now..
Have a great day
