Yarn shopping

I had planned to go to a yoga class this morning, but was thwarted. I arrived at the studio only to find it was closed for a gathering downtown. I was disappointed, so to ease my disappointment, I decided to go yarn shopping. I found yarn for three projects that I have in my queue. See what you think:

I bought this Malabrigo for my Stitch Diva Endless Knitted Cardi Shawl. The main color is handpainted in shades of brown, orange, and gold, and the contrast color is a solid gold shade. I think it will be stunning.

The next yarn is a few skeins of Brown Sheep's Lanaloft. I've never knit with this before, so it will be an adventure. I bought it for the Sweater Babe's Little Lace Vest. The colors don't show up as well in the photo, but it's a teal, purple, and brown handpaint.

Finally, I got two balls of Crystal Palace Kid Merino for the KnitSpot FernFrost scarf. Not that I needed a new lace scarf project, but I love this one and I am looking forward to knitting it. The yarn is shades of taupe, which are my preferred colors these days. Not sure why.
