stash additions

as promised, here is the skein of str my parents brought back for me. colorway is cobblestone county.

as i mentioned, i also ordered some directly from blue moon a couple weeks back (a birthday present to myself, along with some posh yarn i need to get around to posting)


blue moonstone and algae. i love these 2 colors.

i have been a bit quiet lately. not a lot to post about really. but i do want to say that last week i had tami and alyson (blogless) over for a little bit of a send off event. tami just moved back to oklahoma over the weekend. she was one of the first knitters i met through my blog and she is just so cool. i will miss being able to see her in person but am thankful she is a blogger so i can keep up on what she is up to. we had fun sitting on my deck knitting, eating and sipping on arnold palmers (half iced tea, half lemonade). then we moved it inside and gabbed until late. never a shortage of things to talk about with us!

as for knitting, i tried so hard to resist the urge to cast on for something else. i wanted to finish my chevron scarf (no. 2) first. but i was weak and actually cast on for 3 other projects! i took pictures, but they didn't turn out so well (not much to see anyways, i didn't get very far on any of them!). one is a pattern from the lys tour using fleece artist suri blue and one is shifting sands from grumperina using str heavyweight in downpour.

ok gotta run.
