And a fluffy scarf!!  So, I decided to buy some new yarn!  If you&#8217;ve been reading my blog you know that I&#8217;ve been freaking out about what type of fiber to buy and how much.  Well, thank God for Lion Brand website and Walmart&#8217;s inexpensive yarns!<\/p>\n<p>For the poncho I bought Lion Brand Homespun #322 Baroque &#8211; a nice soft purple.  (I&#8217;ll try to post pictures tomorrow!)  For the scarf I bought Bernat Eye Lash #35006 &#8211; a purple\/green\/brown\/teal color &#8211; that will match my new black leather coat!  My new coat is actually a hand-me-down from a friend at church &#8211; what a blessing!! It is just what I would have picked out if I could have picked one out &#8211; and I never could have afforded this!  <\/p>\n<p>My friend, Ruth bought a skien of Lion Brand&#8217;s chenille and I&#8217;m going to make her a quick garter stitch scarf!  Other than these 3 projects, I&#8217;m going to finish my &#8220;Thing&#8221; and start some flowers for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.februaryflowers.blogspot.com\">February Flower Exchange<\/a>.
