Is there really such a thing as bad yarn? Well, let's just say yarn that was not my favorite when I pulled it from the bag. You see, I bought several bags of yarn sight unseen. They were a really good deal and I got lots of great stuff. But I also got some stuff that quite frankly at first glance I was ready to give to the closest Goodwill. But then I packed everything away and I've just now pulled it back out after about two months and guess what, I am seeing it all with fresh eyes. And I am seeing new possibilities for some of it. So I am challenging myself to use some of the yarn that was at first glance less desirable. The first yarn up is this lovely.

and for a first project I have turned a bit of one skein into this. It's okay. I like the yarn now. And I'm seeing new life for it, in other words I won't be driving to Goodwill any time soon.
Simple DishclothDoes anyone have a suggestion for the other 8 skeins?

Hi Susan, a shawl...but then, I always say a shawl. I've got too many but in the winter when people visit us at Thistle Cove Farm, it's nice to have a shawl hanging over every chair. This ole farmhouse is chilly and a shawl is just the thing to ward off a chill. Or, in the case of your lovely yarn, to feel frilly and girly.
