Yes, the aliens certainly took over and made you do it, hehe! ;)<br /><br />What a great buy! I totally love Rowan. Their wool is amazing!<br /><br />I got an idea for you: this summer I have been following all the installments of a Knit along by Martin Storey on the Rowan website, perhaps you could use it as a base for a blanket? Each week there were 2 new squares, with different stitches, all in .pdf format, free to download. There is lots of extra info and even some youtube videos, so you can see the result!<br /><br />Here is the link: http://www.knitrowan.com/designs-and-patterns/online-collections/pure-wool-worsted-mystery-afghan-knit-long<br /><br />Let me know what you think! <br /><br />I find that the Rowan website is a treasure trove of wonderful patterns (obviously there are their magazines you can buy, but there are plenty of free ones, and the files are very clear, even written in several languages!)<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing what you might make with it!<br />Ingrid x<br />http://myfunkycrochet.blogspot.be/ (my own little new blog!)Ingrid K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10141647083619348121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4777854501773102212.post-57314535642884616752014-07-31T23:07:59.967+01:002014-07-31T23:07:59.967+01:00How could you pass up all that beautiful yarn espe...How could you pass up all that beautiful yarn especially if it was on sale, you would be insane.<br />Hugs,<br />Meredith Mereknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596140300034854370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4777854501773102212.post-92014882839809700692014-07-30T21:57:25.770+01:002014-07-30T21:57:25.770+01:00Congrats on your bargain!

I just began a new blanket too, with stash leftover from my huge Stylecraft order from way back when! Is there any purchase more exciting than a big bag of new yarn - in your case two?
