Stop Everything!

This is the second post in two days! Let's look at some yarn to celebrate!
Yay!
Now, you may be wondering where I got this lovely yarn. Why, the Party 300!
If you don't have a Ravelry account (and if you don't, go over there and sign up, NOW!) you won't be able to see this link. Party 300 was a raffle of sorts in the Teen Knitters and Crocheters group. It was lots of fun--I can't wait for the group to reach another milestone.
Anyway, one of the prizes was this fine yarn in the colorway "Into the Mystic". It's a beautiful purple, with overtones of red and deeper purple; I'm not sure how it looks on your screen.
The kind donator of this wonderful yarn was a Kris from Sonny and Shear. Fantabulous yarn over there, make sure and check it out!!
Now that my drooling is over, what am I going to use this great yarn for, might you ask?
Why, this lovely vest from the Spring 2008 copy of Interweave Knits! I was really looking forward to wearing something substantial knitting wise to a cello recital I'm playing in (I'm quite awful; if you're anywhere nearby northern Illinois around 2:00 central, be sure to plug your ears). My mom has made an unofficial bet with me that I couldn't get this done by Saturday.
I do love a challenge, and I have a free period on Tuesday and Wednesday at school this week-maybe I'll even knit in the cafeteria again.....
Perhaps this week I'll have a post a day, if only to keep ya posted!

In other business:
My lovely little brother, BowyerOyew, has started up a blog of his own, calling it Da bow spot. Could you give a little hello for me? Thanks.
(Oh yeah, and guys? I kinda lost 1/2 of the green yarn for his birthday present....anybody have any suggestions on what I can make with a skein of grey Cascade 220 and around 100 yards of alpaca green yarn? Thanks.)
