LYS!

I finally got down to the new LYS - C.R. Yarn. You can read the store's blog over here. I loved the selection of yarn so much it was hard to make my mind up what I'd turn into booties for Sofia, but I couldn't pass up the newly dyed "Mmm Brains" yarn.


My first instinct is to make a hat out of it, but I'm not sure if even that would do this beautiful yarn and its wonderful name justice. So it might just hang out in the stash for a bit until I can find something worthy of it. I also picked up a skein of TOFUtsies to do those booties.


Also soon to be added to my growing stash are two hanks from KnitPicks. While browsing for bootie-yarn, I found their handpainted line, Imagination. These are the two colorways I've ordered: Looking Glass and Damsel.


I know I have no business buying more yarn. I've started three projects despite having a bag full of unfinished things that's been hidden away in the closet since long before we moved into the bigger apartment. I pulled out that neglected bag to see what was in there.

From the top, left to right: 100% baby alpaca from the Indiana State Fair, random red yarn (two skeins Homespun), gray and blue wool from The Feast of the Hunter's Moon, random red yarn that was supposed to end up a sweater for the mother-in-law, Sugar'n Cream skein bought because it was pretty, and random bouncle that was slowly becoming a scarf for the little sister.

So I guess the lesson learned is that if I ever TELL someone I'm knitting them a gift, they're better off assuming their never going to get it. :(
