The first one is from the Summer 2004 Knitter's. About a year after I started knitting, my aunts gave me all their yarn. One didn't knit much anyway, and the other who did had moved on to other hobbies. Among the items found was a huge cache of high quality Italian merino wool. There were about 12 balls of the blue, some of which I'd used for a sweater for my sister-in-law. There were about 15 of partial balls of various colors. This pattern cried out for that yarn. I think it worked well.
The second one is from the Fall 2006 Knitter's. I found the yarn on eBay. It isn't often I used precisely what is called for, but this pattern cried out for it. I'd used 127 print before and liked it.

The second one is from an ad I cut out of a paper somewhere. Again, I used what was called for, but only because I found it half price at WEBs. It's Nashua Equinox Stripe, a fluffy bulky weight yarn. It was nice to use.
