My Tilli Tomas yarn order arrived yesterday from Sarah's Yarns. Oh my gosh I can't say enough about this yarn it is absolutely amazing. It is a deep rich jade and it is shiny and super soft. Pure Silk that mealts in your hands baby! I had been coviting this yarn for some time--ever since I received a skein from my One Skein Swap pal. I had been wanting to knit something big out of this yarn but kept thinking and re-thinking it until I came across 2 things. First, I stumbled upon the marvelous Sensational Knitted Bodice Pattern followed by the exact yarn at unbeatable prices at Sarah's Yarns. I couldn't resist any longer. I buckled last week and placed my purchase and then joined the Stitch Diva Knitted Bodice KAL .
Here is the beautiful Tilli Tomas yarn I ordered for the short sleeved version:
Here is a picture of the sweater:
In Stash Enhancement news--I placed an order recently with Scout for some custom colors: 1 Purls Just Wanna Have Fun using the colors in my banner, 1 Bibliotheque, 1 CAL Bears Blue and Gold after my Alma Matter, and 1 Needles on Fire. Check out my pretties:)
TTFN--I leave you with a July Project Spectrum FO that I had not gotten around to photographing. My very own hand made Cigar Box Purse --I think it came out pretty good for my first attempt. What do you think?
I should be able to re-dye your skein tomorrow. And I named that library one Bibliotheque! :)

You are so right about Sarah's store! I placed my order for the P&S in colour "Gloxinia", a plummy purple and I'm making the long-sleeve. I bought the pattern a couple weeks ago, joined the KAL last week and was going to substitute the yarn - but I checked out Sarah's and it's an OK splurge. Your Scout stash is gorgeous too! I love her yarn - just bought "Harlot's Mums" and I love it :).
