YPF-the Next to the Last Edition...

of the Sundara Petals Collection . This was a great sock club and sadly it is discontinued. Her new club has yarn weights I won't knit with, (starts with L and ends in ace) and well, I'm tightening the belt quite a bit this year due to almost-college-boy-bills, so not an option for me.

I've never knit with her yarns, but they always looks so gorgeous. You know, you could totally do lace. You might even like it, it's fun!!! As for the college bills, well, I have no good advice for that. I guess tightening the belt is a must. :(

Poppy? I always thought of poppies being peachy-coloured or orange-red. I thought grape or wine for that colour - but whatever the name it is very pretty.

Really pretty! I love her yarn. I'm hoarding the remains of my sport merino since she's not making it anymore. Sniff.

Oh so pretty! But I understand, soon to be college boy can't eat yarn instead of food. ;-)

Beautiful!

I'm not doing any sock clubs this year in an effort to wrangle the stash under control, but I do miss getting random packages of yarn in the mail. It's the surprise factor.

Gorgeous yarn! I kept thinking I should get some of her sock yarn, but I guess it was not to be. Enjoy that knitting that up!

Absolutely gorgeous colorway!! I have to admit, I'm kind of glad her sock club is a bit no longer...I was tempted to join based on some of your pics :) And my budget needs some tightening this year too :)
