Yarn Porn



This just in from Blue Moon! More socks to come! (Well, I might be tempted to knit that thong from the red yarn, but the rest will definitely be socks.) From left: Covellite, Sun Stone, Downpour, and Lover's Leap. I was a little surprised at the intensity of color in Downpour (it looks more muted on the Blue Moon page), but I think it will be beautiful. The Lover's Leap (red) is the heavy weight; the others are medium weight. I was thinking of knitting mittens from the Lover's Leap, but I might knit socks after all. I love red socks.



This (at right) is the result of the gift cards I received at Christmas. Thank you, once again! Two skeins of La Luz silk in Cocoa Bean (it's buttery soft), three skeins of Noro's Hana Silk (2 in red, 1 in green), and two skeins of Misti Alpaca which incorporates the brown, red, and green from the others. I have no idea yet of what I'll knit, but it will be magnificent!



The long-awaited Interlacements Toasty Toes in Las Vegas Brights. I've been having fun already with this skein. It's wound into 2 balls and I've been knitting gauge swatches and trying out patterns, etc. It's similar to Fire on the Mountain from Blue Moon. I think I'll just knit it flat to enjoy all of the colors!
