I ordered the Palette sampler, one skien of each color. I'm so excited for it to come in the mail!
For Christmas my aunt Linda gave me 2 skeins of Berroco Lavish,
a dark blue, light blue, green and gold lash yarn.(I think I'm using either Cadaquez or Malachite for the color? The shade card on their website is really off, so it's hard to tell.) 
I threw it on my yarn shelves, and I noticed the colors matched perfectly with a light blue, dark blue, and kelley green striped tubescarf that was half-finished on the same shelf. The colors made me think of peacock feathers, and I had planned on knitting up some fake feathers to add to the ends. I pulled out some purple yarn and knit six teardrop shapes, and then crocheted the novelty yarn onto the teardrops and added fringe to look like feathers. I attached the faux feathers to the ends, and it looks really cool now!
I'm applying to Nottingham Trent School in Nottingham, England for Technical Knitwear Design.
I have to put my portfolio together for my application, so wish me luck!!
