Sometimes I get two skeins, sometimes just one. When I have time, I enter the skeins into my stash on Ravelry and look for pattern ideas under the yarn tab for that specific brand. If I find something promising, I put it in my queue, even if it happens to be more than one pattern. Later, I look more critically and decide which project the yarn will become. It isn't all that complicated, but finding irresistible yarns is dangerous if I don't get to knitting up what I have queued. <br />As for shopping for yarn with a pattern in mind, I do that too, but my favorite FOs are the things made from the irresistible skeins.<br />And thanks for the compliment, but don't ever grow up, continue to look at the world through the eyes of a child.

Beautiful yarn, but I realized that I have not progressed to the point where I can let the yarn speak to me...I don't know what I would knit! So for the time being, I find a pattern I like first, and then go yarn-hunting. So I would be in a quandary with a mystery box. But I want to be you when I grow up!Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03688846429279351574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7479478876034504986.post-52409697664198635452012-03-09T20:06:09.167-05:002012-03-09T20:06:09.167-05:00Lucky you -- whenever I try to purchase one of the...Lucky you -- whenever I try to purchase one of their mystery boxes, I'm always too late!!
