Heard it through the grapevine

I've got some big news...

Haha, just kidding. The real news is that Lion Brand is bringing back the much-coveted Cotton Ease Yarn in a spiffy new package:

As you may know, I have quite a collection of the "old" Cotton Ease, or at least I did until I finished ze honking blue swirl blanket. That's right folks, it's DONE. Proud mama pictures to follow...

The Slanket

Karen mentioned this last night at Stitch n' Bitch, so this morning I had to look it up -

The Slanket looks like pure genius. It's basically a blanket with sleeves. See?

Brillant! Now, do you suppose could I knit one???? (evil laugh)
