So much yarn, so little time
So now that I'm back working at a Local Yarn Shop, the knitting side of my brain has gone into hyperdrive. I hate to use a cliche, but I am the proverbial kid in the proverbial candy shop. I have been greatly enjoying being surrounded by so much luscious fiber and friendly faces, and as the inspiration is nigh on constant, I've been knittin' up a storm.
And so, some updates:
Meg Swansen Spiral Yoke sweater in progress in Cascade Eco Wool. Such a good deal and for those of you familiar with my habit of smelling yarn - this stuff smells deliciously sheepy. Umm. Yes. If you like the smell of sheep.. which I happen to...
Annual thumbies - I seem to wear through them awful fast - in doubled Classic Elite Baby Camel Blithe.
And Jason got a Meg Swansen Dubbelmossa for our first anniversary - celebrated in NH two weekends ago. I did it in Frog Tree Alpaca Sport, dark green and oatmeal, and it was wicked wicked fun to see what appeared to be a giant sausage casing turn in to double thick hat.
AND - I just snapped up some of Malabrigo lace weight in "Verdes". I'm thinking something in a lacy leaf - but perhaps that is another overly cliche concept?
They make such lovely little cakes....

I need you to smell this fleece I've got!
And camel sure sounds wonderful for the thumbies. So soft. All of this is so soft - alpaca hat? I feel faint just thinking about the softness.......
I'll be interested to hear more on that Malabrigo lace - not a huge fan of the worsted Malabrigo, but I do so enjoy the colors!
Oh, for a job that allows you to bury your face in wool, and knit all day long! Envyenvyenvy! So happy you're back in the neighborhood :)
And who is the luckiest of all?? Me!
So far the Malabrigo is very hard to resist. I started the Dragon Scales scarf pattern by BadCat on Friday and have about a foot done. Lots of baseball of course - but very hard to resist.
I'm very glad to be back in the neighborhood too! Thanks for all the encouragement.
