When there isn’t enough time to craft, there still seems to be enough time to grow the stash.  Maybe it is my way of crafting by default – making plans, getting the supplies, and maybe then I’ll fool myself into actually getting things done.  In the past week these fabrics arrived:

The two on the bottom right are japanese prints from the lovely Retro Mummy; most of the rest are from the Flutterby line by Tula Pink for Moda.  Other than the three prints on the right hand side, I plan on using these in a quilt.  I have half a yard of each, but haven’t decided yet what pattern to use.

And what would stash building be without yarn?  At least I have definite plans for these.  This kid mohair will become a “mossy cowl”, from one of my Interweave Crochet mags (I think the pattern is available free online as well though).

This divine 12-ply 100% merino yarn comes from Pear Tree Yarns.  They had beautiful lacy shell-stitch scarves crocheted out of these yarns in a variety of highly covetable colours.  I can’t wait to crochet this one into a scarf for myself!  I’m going to try to do it without a pattern; I took a good look at the ones on display and I reckon that I can figure it out for myself.

The yarn came from the Victorian Handknitters Guild wool expo which was on yesterday.  There were loads of beautiful (and expensive) yarns to ogle.  I really, really like the Pear Tree Farm ones though – solids in beautiful colours, and incredibly soft.
