You made a great choice, your spectrum colour choices are really chic with your new raincoat.

I completely...That shawl is perfect for your coat!<br /><br />I completely understand your money thoughts. I am the same way, I haate to spend more than $5-10 on a top or $10-20 on a pair of pants or a skirt or $50-75 on a dress, but for a sweater, even for the kids, I'll drop $50-175 without a thought. For me, though, this is because I know how many hours of pleasure I will get for that money, besides the finished item, and I know it will be made well and sturdily. I think of yarn purchases in terms of cost per hour, rather than cost per finished item. Obviously, if we can't afford to spend the money, it doesn't get spent, but if it is in the budget, I will.Ranee @ Arabian Knitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236731154217065518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434673061614447624.post-17180804491168950562016-06-21T15:50:28.436-04:002016-06-21T15:50:28.436-04:00So beautiful!
