On My Mind..Discontinued stripe wool

I was having trouble location my favourite wool, it is Carnival Effects stripe wool by Panda Yarns. After searching several Big W stores I sent an email and I found out just before leaving for my holiday that it had been discontinued, I was devastated. I searched the Big W stores that we "happened" to stop at along the way (1,364 km one way) and I managed to find some in Adelaide about 10 minutes from where we were staying Yippee. Unfortunately I was limited by lack of room in the car so had to be restrained in my purchasing.

 I thought i would take this opportunity to show some of the items i have made with this yarn.
after uploading the photos, i realised there were more but i donated them before photographing them.
there are at least a dozen different blankets
Please note that the pictures don't do the wool justice,  the flashing and pooling are more exaggerated in the photos.

this is the first in 2009  i used the blue effects stripe wool for the mitre and striped sqs

made for my sisters 40th using the purple variegated for the centre

purple in the RH sq & each square edged and border with burgundy stripe 

a blanket I made for charity using burgundy stripe wool

Show and Tell week 14

This is the 9th week of squares
for Sarah London and the
 "Crochet a rainbow"  cause.
One more week and I will 
have enough to fill the 
500 gram postpac.
I used Carnival Effects fair isle
in lovely shades of green.
I must say that I am looking
forward to finishing these
squares and posting them off.
It did save time by not having
to put too much thinking time
into what squares I would do
for the weeks show and tell,
therefore creating more crochet 
time. I think the moss on our driveway goes so well with these squares
