Yarn!

Quite a few months ago I decided that I would like to try some yarns that I have never seen or heard of before for my birthday and Mother's Day this year.  So I sat down with Grace and ordered them as they came on special or when I was ready to get another few needles or whatever.  www.loveknitting.com usually has coupon codes and if you spend $80 you get free shipping so it made sense to do it over a few months as a top up for value.  So here are a heap of pics that I will just dump for those interested to enjoy.  I have just balled up those that need it and as it is 90% sock yarn then I will get busy knitting some more socks for me!










Below are a couple I picked up from Spotlight and my finished Cranberry Crush blend with suri alpaca which I am extremely pleased with and it will become my first shawlette eventually.  660 mtrs over 213gms sock weight (3ply).




There is only a little progress on my stitching and I have managed to finish one convertible mitten but haven't taken pics of those yet.  Maybe next weekend will see the second one finished and a pair of socks started.

Lovely lot of wool, especially love the yarn in the second and third photo. Have fun knitting up it all up.

Happy days.

That WYS paint will be interesting knitted up! Do you think they will be speckles or lines?

Plenty to do!

Very enticing. I can see why you chose them - and you have the get up and go to use them all - so, looking forward to the results.
