of the van and camping and wotnot - let's get back to the yarn!!

This parcel arrived for me this morning after i saw the top right skein in an eBay banner ad!!
Aren't the colours just scrumtious? They remind me of Southend seafront on an autumn day, all sand, mud and seaweed and the other three skeins fell into my basket because of course i just had to see what else they had for sale :oD
I have plans for all four skeins...
Top right is "Hilltop" and that is the only DK weight and i'll use it for a WW hat of some description, i just think it wants to be a hat ;o)
Bottom right is a Rio de la Plata sockweight yarn, all tweedy and zingy! This is going to be a pair of toe-up vanilla socks as there is only 60g and i think a pattern will detract from the colours, and i lurve the colours!
Bottom left is Seascape sock yarn in shade Loch Claidh which i think will make a great chevron scarf, i just have to decide which colour to pair it up with ;o)
Finally top left is another Ri de la Plata sock yarn in reds and greens which i think will be a hat... maybe?
I really do need to spend money when i'm feeling down, i bought these last week when i was feeling really stressed out with the sewing of the cushions, still it could be worse, it could be clothes like it used to be ::lol::
