Dr. Who Scarf: The yarn is here!

[jan_andrea]

Ooooh, this stuff is *wonderful*! I got the "comfy" yarn, a 75% pima cotton, 25% acrylic blend, and it feels soooo nice to the touch -- very silky. I'm going to enjoy knitting with it, I think. The materials (well, plus a pair of circular needles because they were pretty and bumped me up to free shipping) were $51.63. A lot for a scarf, but since it's for my honey, it's okay :)


Yarn!

Will try to photoblog this as I progress, just for the hell of it.

Are you going to be making a scarf from a particular season, or did you just like these colors?

I'm probably the only person alive (or at least on your FL) who doesn't know a thing about Dr. Who. ;) But seeing the materials and hearing the cost of just the yarn alone, really gives me a deeper understanding of some of the asking prices for hand knit items on etsy and such. I spend as little as possible on yarn, clearances and coupons are a lifesaver. But I stick to Michael's and Joann's. I don't know how people can spend $20 on a skein of yarn just because it's hand dyed and organic. It just doesn't fit my budget at all. Anyways, I'm just rambling... I'm excited to see your completed project. You are very good at your sling business so I'm assuming you'll be able to stay on track for this and complete it... unlike myself. ;)

My question is what your source for yarn is? For that much yarn, $50 is a good price - especially with needles.
