for the stash

ellen and i had a lot of fun (and spent way too much $$) on the lys tour. we could not have asked for better weather. besides the ferry crossings, we motored 271 miles over the 2 days.

just a few shots of some of the yarn i bought.


5 skeins of malabrigo worsted in paris night - planning to make the hemlock ring blanket with this


100% soy habu yarn in a pewter color - possibly for a 2nd melody shawl (just finished 1st one out of plucky 50 silk/50 merino lace, pics to come)

i also picked up 1 skein of kidsilk haze in a kelly green, 1 skein araucania ranco multi (sock yarn), 1 skein araucania aysen (merino,alpaca,silk), 1 skein manos silky in a teal and 1 skein rowan felted tweed in brown (for a hat). i bought a few patterns as well and a couple accessories. the tour was great this year, we only made it to about 12 of the 24 stores but it was just enough.

i'll block my melody shawl and share it soon.

and i just finished watching last week's ugly betty online. can i just say what a big fan of gio i am? i love that guy. can't wait to see the finale on thursday along with grey's. i am very interested to see how they wrap it up. i have been pleasantly surprised by grey's, the beginning of the season was painful for me to watch. glad they have turned it around a bit!
