so i hit the jackpot. a lady on a local craft list was giving away some yarn, she said it was mostly acrylic and some cotton, so here i am thinking its just handcraft cotton, the stuff for dishcloths. well low and behold i got it home, and there is about 7 hanks (6 already wound into balls) of butterfly mercerized cotton. its from greece. This is the stuff that got me turned onto yarn when i was working at lewiscraft back in the day.

so each hank has about 125 grams, and 230 meters in it. its 22sts = 10cm on a 4mm.

now im not sure if i want to crochet or knit with it. Im better at crochet, but this is such nice stuff and would look great in something that is stocknit *sp?* but im a novice with knitting. I know enough to teach basic knit and purl stitches, and i have done ONE drop stich scarf, but nothing much more then that.
I am quite advanced in crochet, but i do like the look of knitting more.

so i am on my quest. I need a pattern. I was thinking something like a shrug, i know i have enough for that, but i am sure i dont have enough for more then that. I was also thinking mabey a skirt? but im not sure. ALSO im pluss sized. im a big girl. I fit a dress size 22 at the stores (dont want to ever measure myself) and im quite busty (DDD or DDDD depending) I would also like something that i could get some use out of. not something that i would just wear on special occasions.

so hit me up with the patterns!!!!
