More Stash, A Scarf, and an Impatient Wait

Posted in: General Chatter

   I got more yarn.  I must be rebelling against all the stash busting going on.  But now that I’ve got the last of what I ordered I’m officially cut off from yarn shopping until I get some of my planned projects completed.

 blue_green_lornas_lacesLornas Laces Shepherd Sock - 2 solid and 2 multi - I think I see a chevron scarf here.

fixation_redCascade Fixation in Red.  Planned for a bikini from Naughty Knits.  Subject to change.

misti_alpaca Misti Alpaca Lace for some kind of shawl

orange_lornas_laces More Lorna’s Laces - I think these will be socks

two_waters Two Waters Sock yarn.  Socks, I think.

I finally got a picture of my newest WIP - the Touch of Whimsy Scarf

touch_of_whimsy1 I’m a bit over half done.  I love this pattern!  It’s in Malabrigo and now I see what all the to-do was about surrounding this yarn.  It’s glorious!

I have seent he buzz in the blogosphere surrounding the new site Ravelry I must say that I’m very excited and really impatient for my invite to come.  I signed the waiting list as soon as I heard about it.  They were very smart to give the podcasters access early.  I’ve heard it mentioned on countless popular blogs and it’s killing me that I can’t get in there and see it for myself.  I think the part about this site that excites me the most is the community building potential.  My life does not allow me to participate in live knitting groups or even to make it to a LYS without an act of congress so this new myspace for knitters concept is very exciting.  I guess I’ll have to keep myself busy while I wait by knitting as much as possible.
