Besotted! Or “New Yarn … My Preciousssss …”

Posted on 17 August 2005

I ran by my LYS today to pick up the baby alpaca yarn I’d ordered for my very first shawl. It came in a light greenish-gray instead of the charcoal we had anticipated (shipper error) so I opted for another color she had in shop. Two skeins of Misti Alpaca laceweight yarn in a plummy wine color, and I’m good to go. OH it is so soft! I may never knit with anything else again.

I also picked up two skeins of hot pink Regia sock yarn in a wool/polyamide blend for my 6 Sox-Along project (finally), since I can’t find my two skeins of red (lurking somewhere in this house).

And also got another ball of Idena’s Mega ladder yarn; since I modified the width of the simple stole I was knitting, it came out a bit shorter than I wanted. I’m going to try to finish *that* one to wear out tomorrow for a dinner date with hubby.

Photos and decadent yarn fondling later — the dinner bell just rang at my house. ;o)
