Stash enhancement and then some

I didn't get a chance to post some photos of some purchases I've made in the past week and this past weekend, so thought I'd get to them today. However, I cannot show any photos of the stuff I got this weekend, as they weren't for me, but for my Knitter's Coffee Swap partner Annie (that's right, you're just gonna have to wait, missy heehee). This is my first swap ever, so I'm really excited. Of course, it's even better because it includes coffee AND yarn. What more could I ask for??? :)

So, here are the things I can show you. I've been drooling over Sundara Yarn for quite some time now and finally got a chance to order some. Check it out!

I love the names she gives her yarn, as they usually are colors from nature. I also like the fact that she overlaps colors for what she calls her "somewhat solids" so that they're not entirely one solid color, so the colors don't seem flat. The overlapping color definitely adds a little depth. I ordered a skein of Slate over Robin's egg and a skein of Coffee over Papyrus. Not sure yet what I'm going to do with these, but I love the chocolately brown and the light blue together.

My other purchase recently was with Scout's Swag. Bear and I kinda have this semi joke going between us about how we don't get enough fiber, and obsessively read nutrition labels to see who can find the product with the highest fiber content as a game, so when I came across this shirt, it was too cute to pass up. That shiny thing you see on the t-shirt is a keychain with a ball of "yarn" made of wire.

Here's a close up of the keychain. Isn't it cute?? I got the keychain as a freebie, as the first shirt that arrived was the wrong size and had to be returned, so having to wait for the right size was totally worth it, as I had a nice surprise with my t-shirt.
