I have sinned and purchased more yarn. *hanging head in shame*
I'm going to join the Lady Eleanor KAL but I couldn't decide if I wanted Kochoran or Silk Garden. I like the color ways available in Silk Garden but everyone says that Kochoran is amazingly soft.. so.. uh.. I bought both.
Ok - so in my own defense - I did put up more of my stash up on ebay so technically it will be an even trade - no actual additional cost incurred.
Service Announcement: If you dont like seeing yarn porn or cant stand it when people post about yarn they buy - please look away.
I got 5 skeins of Korochan in #12 and 2 skeins in #21 - for $103 which is roughly $14.70 a skein and I saw it retail at Knitting by the Beach for 21.00/skein!
I got 10 skeins of Silk Garden in #224 which I love and really wish Kochoran had it.
I may save the Silk Garden for a sweater or something.
Oohhhhh. Pretty. Pretty yarn. Pretty soft yarn.
Sorry. Long day at work. Can't put words together now :)

Ooh, I'm glad you went with the Kochoran to treat yourself. It is soooo soft.

That's EXACTLY what you should have done. You are a true knitter.
Now roll naked in the Kochoran, and tell me that's not the best you ever had. ;)

I *really* like the Silk Garden colorway. Excellent choices.

They're both beautiful!

I have ALWAYS looked with yearning at Kochoran...I think it is the prettiest Noro out there. But alas, I am allergic to angora. It makes me weep, but there it is. So you should embrace it and have fun with it, since you CAN!

Sigh...lovely, lovely colors. I can't wait to see how it unfolds in Eleanor.
That Silk Garden colorway may be my favorite--I adore plum and brown together.

I love that purple and I enjoy seeing what other people buy. You're almost done with your wrist warmers so why not!

Oh, I love the Kochorah. Besides, none of the Silk Garden will go to waste as it waits, anyway. It's an investment, right?
