It is definitely a haul but not nearly as much as I’ve done in the past. There is so much yarn in my stash I just couldn’t justify adding for the sake of adding. But these I couldn’t resist.
All Socks That Rock Yarn L to R: Rare Gems (these are one of a kind skeins you grab while you can), Mill Ends (another one of a kind) (both lightweight), Pebbles & Nyame (medium weight). I saw this pattern in the Nyame colorway and fell in love with it. Even though it’s blueish I think it would work for a boy or girl right? I hate that color is so associated with gender…
Green Mountain Spinnery: the two “creamy” ones are New Mexico Organic (so delicious) and the brownish, reddish, with a hint of yellow one is Mountain Mohair in “Spice”. That last one is for a pair of Sideways Mystery Mittens for my mum (per her request).
And just as I was getting ready to leave the fair grounds, this little gem caught my eye. I’ve never heard of the company or seen the yarn before but I just couldn’t leave it. Acquerello 75% Wool, 25% Nylon about 420 yds…I see socks, do you?
And this…don’t ask. My sister saw a sample of this pattern while I was standing on the STR line and said she had to have it. Yes, those are laces up the back…The things we do for love. Thank God she only wants the waist corset. But that’s bad enough….. (I’m so grateful right now that she doesn’t read this. I promise to show pictures when it’s done and I have no idea when that will be….holy crap am I really going to put this on needles?)
So that’s it yall, not much but I’m happy!
Love the new additions to the stash. It looks like you had a wonderful day.
The Baby Yours cardigan is adorable and I absolutely think that color could work for boy or girl.
As for the corset ?????? I’m going to have a Meg Swansen moment and say “well, isn’t that so unique”. Find the good in things.
ooh la la! I can’t wait to see the stash in person!
Nice post Yarnmaster D. Good yarn, happy family, beautiful pics. What more could a reader want?
I believe I have that pattern fav’ed over in Ravelry. I love it! maybe for the grandbaby since she’s here and I haven’t knit a thing for her yet. There’s always the holidays.
