Progress and oddballs

The circular shrug and Twisty Turns are moving along. I started watching "Monster-in-Law" last night while the hubby was in Portland buying a Powerball ticket (no winner) and getting a beer. I could not get through the first 45 minutes and turned it off. J-Lo might have a nice ass but she bugs the hell out of me. So after much channel surfing, I found "The Color Purple". I have never seen it and even though it wasn't over until midnight, I watched it all and love it. Much better choice for the night.

I realized the other day that I do not have enough yarn to finish the shrug. I had bought 2 skeins of Simply Soft at Micheal's and was making a stop at Joann's that day so I thought I would pick some up. No dye lot- so I found the violet yarn and bought one. Last night, I was ready to start the next skein. I looked at the 2 I had and noticed something. one was 7 oz., the other was 6 oz. Crap! They are both worsted weight, 4ply, Violet but the colors numbers were different. Double Crap! To my tired eyes they looked the same but why would they sell the same yarn in 7 oz and 6 oz skeins?
