so the other day, in a state of clearing out some clutter (and after spending hours Monday am trying to detangle one), I decided to take the yarn acquired from the Target knitting kits (namely, from the Wine Cozy pattern) off of the retched triangle bobbin things and wind it. so I’ve got nice ‘fresh’ memories of how this yarn feels and looks in my head. I’m wandering thru Michael’s today and come upon a knit up sample of Bernat Frenzy - I swear, it’s got to be the same yarn. the fiber content is the same, and the blue & purple colors look pretty darn exact to that which sits in my stash. good to know if I decide I like it.

I have a feeling that most of those Target kits are using Bernat-family yarns (since the cotton baby kit yarn matched up so well with the Sugar n Cream, and the boa scarf kits look identical to the Boa yarn). now, if only I could figure out what yarns they’re using in the legwarmers kits that are currently on the shelves… (maybe they’ll go on clearance soon so I can get one. wishful thinking…)

in other news, I received my free ball of Bernat Disco today - I got the copper/brown color. thank goodness. that turquoise was kind of scary. haven’t a clue what I’ll do with it yet (though they did include a few patterns)
