I received some yummy Bamboolicious sock yarn in the mail the other day.
The yarn is very soft and the colors are beautiful. I also joined Zen Yarn Garden's Art Walk Sock Club. I couldn't resist.
The yarn for Shawn's sweater came in from WEBS the other day.
14 skeins of Cascade 220 wool, color 9332 Sapphire. I don't think I'll need all 14 skeins but it doesn't hurt to have extra. We are both very please with the color. I'll start his sweater here in the next few months. When I ordered the Cascade 220 I threw in 2 skeins Valley Yarns Huntington.
I'm really impressed with the feel. If this stuff wears well it will be a great "go to" sock yarn. I'm hoping WEBS will continue to add colors to their site. You can't beat $4.29 for a 50g/218yd hank.
Some Lion Brand Cotton-Ease that I picked up from Michaels.
I'm going to use this to make this dress for Bree. I also have some Knit Picks Comfy that will be here in a week or so. You all know how slow Knit Picks shipping is. I'm gearing up for summer knitting.
OK, now on to the knitting.
I've finally finished the body of my Rogue.
I'm down to the hood and sleeves. I'm almost there! I tried it on and it fits great. I made the length about 2 inches longer because I wanted a sweater that doesn't ride up when I lift my arms.
Today I started and finished a hat for Kristy's Hat Quest. See RC's post or Kristy's post for more info if you're interested in knitting some hats.
This is a simple ribbed hat knit from the top down using di.Ve Teseo. The yarn is a tad splitty but once I got use to it it was easy knitting.
I'll leave you with a shot of my Mother's Day gifts from the girls.
They bought me some houseplants. I love them.
Gorgeous yarn! (as usual!)
ReplyDeleteThe plants are so cute. You're girls are so cute.
Too many "cutes" in my comment!
ReplyDeleteYou're putting the rest of us to shame. I've been stalled on the same sock for over a week now, and can't get motivated to finish it or start something else!
