Hazy and lazy

I picked up my wedding dress and returned 4 out of 5 skeins of the yarn from hell. I exchanged it for another yarn which looks a heck of a lot like kidsilk haze except it has got polyester, not silk in it. I also went to the droguerie. They have a nice alpaca that would go with my dress for my cousin's wedding, so I might go get that and forget about the kidpolyester haze. The alpaca would be thicker, faster and I would probably be more likely to wear it later.

I also bought a ball of angora which was a third of the price of the angora I was using from Anny Blatt and it sheds a lot less. I know. I know. I swore I wouldn't buy any more fuzzy yarn, but I couldn't stop myself. I bought it just to swatch with in case I didn't like the kidsilk fake and before I saw the alpaca that I think I want. I'm swatching this. I think I would modify it so the triangle wasn't as deep and since I will be using thicker yarn, it will certainly be different. We'll see, we'll see. I'll have to think about it tomorrow. My cough medicine is making me too sleepy to do anything.
