YPF-The Edge version

This colorway (see middle picture, far left skeins..) had me at HELLO! I was waiting with baitlike breath to see who would start selling it first. Luckily it was my yarnabler Sheri! Heh, and you think I'm an enabler!

I love sportweight sock yarn the bestest! DK is second, then fingering, then worsted...gah, worsted socks seem to take longer than fingering weight.

I'm loving the shepherd sport for socks, too. And you know I love that color! And I can tell by the skein that Sam twisted and labelled that for ya.

I so look forward to Friday's on your blog so I can drool over lovely yarn like Homer Simpson drools over donuts.

Hmmm, I fell out of love with the LL sock, but haven't tried the sport. May have to jump on that train!

You know... I always fall in love with Lornas Laces colorways when they are in the hank, but I didn't really like the way mine knitted up. It'll be interesting to see how the colors blend.

I think that's one of the best colorways I've seen in a long time. I love how intense and balanced it is.

That is a very pretty colorway! I had not seen that one before hmmm I wonder if the rest of their 2008 colors are as pretty:)
