More Yarn for the Never-Ending Project List

I went to a new LYS (well new to me) over the weekend in Phoenix. It was very nice, and they had a great selection of yarns and I'll definitely go back. But this time I picked up this:
Five skeins of Cascade 220 wool in color no. 2425. It's one of their heathers that is sort of an orangy/rust color. This picture doesn't do the color justice, but the flash washed it out too much. This is going to go towards a Canopy Cardigan (ravelry link) from the fall issue of Knitscene.
And then my Hubby picked this up for a hat (pattern to be determined). Galway Paint, the color no. is 805, it's olive/tan/orange variegated.
And then, of course, it's back to school days, so my local T****t had all the college organizational bins and things on clearance. This one is holding my garter fingerless gloves.
Don't know what these are going to be for yet. Probably some of the miscellaneous sewing stuff I have scattered about the house! I also picked up a great zippered pencil bag that I'm using for knitting things (of course) and some great scissors that will work great in the various project bags/bins/baskets I have (also lying about the house)!

(Cactus Edit: I added some new blogs I read on the side, check some of them out -- if you haven't already!)

I always have trouble photographing anything reddish colored.

The problem I have with going to that store is that, now that Miss M is going to daycare part time, I end up going there by myself on her daycare days, and end up wandering up and down the aisles ... then look at the time and 2 to 3 hours have gone by! I should try to go there today and see what's left of the sales...

Your orangish yarn is very fashionable this fall. I love the sweater design you chose. I can't wait to see the finished sweater. No pressure:)

Oooh, which store was it? I need to make sure my list is up to date before Spring Training starts (in 6 months). That cardigan is great--I am queuing it immediately!
