I am so thrilled with Kaleidoscope Yarns! I emailed them early Monday morning with my woe of no more yarn. They responded quickly and had enough in stock. I immediately placed the order and voila...you can see below...caramel has entered the building! So I hope to finish my bag by this weekend! Only 1 week late...oh well..
My second pair of socks is going great! The Thuja socks from Knittytm are going well as you can see below! I really like this pattern and with worsted weight (using woolease in charcoal gray I think) goes pretty fast. I have about 3 rows to the heel flap. I have been eyeing the artyarns supermerino...but I have been behaving and not getting it. I have black and pink in cascade superwash to use first.
Doesn't it look cute posing amidst the pear blossoms...yeah, just what I needed to do...pose my knitting by one of the sources of my allergies...so smart huh! (smacks head with hand!) Our poor confused pear tree and other foliage...they have no idea the cold snap about to arrive!Lastly, I need some advice on this:
Remind me to get the pattern before I get the yarn! I really wanted to use LP for it, but only got 1 skein of lime and had 2 skeins of lotus pink already. Something told me when I got my wild oak LP to order the cotton candy cascade as I have been wanting it, but it was always out of stock somewhere. Then I saw the granny smith color..so to make a very long story short. The yarn is to be doubled, and I will need 2 skeins of the cotton candy and granny smith each (say goodbye to limeade)I also got the victorian pink LP to use...but I don't know. I am thinking using the cascade yarns and the lotus pink...what do you think?ETA: The Lotus pink is on the left in a yarn cake :)
Gotta go to bed! Nite!

Yay! Your yarn came! I love the photo of the socks amongst the pear blossoms--maybe you have a future in yarn photograpy!
From the photo you have, the combo looks great! Is the lotus pink the one on the left? I can't wait to see this purse, it's going to be so cute.
I think that color combo is going to be fantastic! Can't wait to see it.
you know you can always send that bag this way when your done! ;o)))) and make a nice spring bag with the pink.lime....LOL
Cool socks I think they'll be great looks like it's coming along very nicely so far!
omg! I thought I was the only one that called her skeined yarn "little cakes of yarn"! :)
I think the colors look so yummy, don't you just love the spring color combos.
That is going to be amazing! Does the pattern look tough? I have been soooo tempted by that one.
I am so jelous that you have spring blossoms.
I love your picture of your sock amongst the flowers! It looks great. If I make these socks again, I will probably go for something like the charcoal grey that you're using - not many artyarns colorways that aren't too girly for boy socks, IMO.
I think the cascades & lotus pink will be beautiful! So happy you got the yarn to complete your bag, can't wait to see it finished.
