Big Lots is bad for my wallet

I heard they had Lion Brand Magic Stripes sock yarn for $1 a skein so I figured I'd check ours and if they had some I'd buy one skein. With that one skein I would make something that I could wear (with the yardage in one skein that might be one sock or fingerless glove) and find out if I'm really allergic to wool or just sensitive to the rough scratchy kind.

Well our Big Lots didn't have the wool/nylon sock yarn, but they did have twenty-one skeins of Lion Brand Suede in the same colorway (I have not yet checked the dyelots) and six skeins of Lion Brand Thick & Quick Chenille in a really nice purple.

All those skeins came home with me. I left the novelty yarns, though I was a bit tempted to grab one or two of the furry ones to make some more knit kittens. There was something really soft and squishy that sort of looked like terrycloth made into yarn but it was a color that, combined with that terrycloth impression, reminded me of dingy light blue towels badly in need of washing. The highway orange boucle tempted me for a few seconds since my brother is (was? I need to find out if he got that job he was looking at) highway superintendent, but I had no immediate ideas for it.

Now I need to locate some yarn storage space and figure out what the heck I'm going to make with this stuff.
