So I keep mentioning this stash enhancement that happened after Greg went back to Iraq, but where are the pictures, you ask?
I had some Loopy credit built up at The Loopy Ewe (frequent buyer $ and gift certificates from Christmas), so I splurged on two sweaters worth of Lorna's Laces:
20 oz "Black Purl" Wool Top
20 oz "Safari" Wool Top
A very lovely member (who wishes to remain anonymous) of the Ravelry Spunky Group sent me a Spunky Eclectic gift certificate the day after Greg left, which assisted in this purchase:

I've been wanting to try out many of these different fibers, so this was the perfect time to indulge a little and try them out. I am especially excited about the Bison Bliss blend. I can't wait till I have time to spin it!
Today I went out with Rachel to Hela (similar to Home Depot or Lowes, only with a fairly large craft and knitting section), and we came home with 650 grams (just under 1-1/2 lbs) of merino:
We have batt carding plans for tonight!
It's always great to have excellent choices in the stash. I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as too much wool.
