Malabrigo Worsted
Stone Chat Colorway
Destined to become a Bounce Hat by John Brinegar. Ever since I first saw this on his blog (and printed it right away :) I was trying to decide what to use. I almost wanted last weeks pr0n , but decided not to.
Perfect fall colors. This will be perfect to wear at the mountains in October!
Yum...chocolate
What makes me also excited is that I purchased this lovely skein (and it's mate) here in my hometown! Yes, folks, Malabrigo is in my hometown!! Not 1 hr away or many states away, but about 15 minutes depending on the traffic. A Row of Purls is about 45 mins. from me, but the owner has a stall set up in a local antique consignment store.
Now to get off here and cast on! I need a break from Mr. LSJ anyways. Have a great weekend!

Oh wow, I've never seen that colorway before. Pretty! What a smoocherific hat it will make.
Hurray for local Malabrigo!!! Yummy color too.
I have to admit, I was thrilled to pull on a pair of STR socks this morning. :)
I love that colorway! So pretty!
And yay for fall! Its supposed to rain tonight...first time in awhile here..can't wait!!!
ooooh...ahh...
I love malabrigo. There's not a yarn like it. I just bought some for a scarf in tiger lily, but man I wished they had this color!
It was love at first sight. I can't wait to see the hat!
I love this - it looks so autumnal!
It kind of reminds me of a chocolate covered cherry, which reminds me of Valentines. But that's in February when it's still cold right? ;-)
That is a cool pattern and it's gonna look great in this yarn!
I know the feeling about how far away yarn shops are so that's great news.
Gorgeous!! and Autumnal too. A very good choice :)
I think that hat will be beautiful in this yarn, not to mention how soft it'll be! Can't wait to see it.
I just luuuuurve stonechat!!
The perfect pattern for that beautiful yarn and Fall too!
Gorgeous yarn!
I saw that and knew right off it mas Malabrigo. Does that make me a yarn geek? And the faqct that it's origins is so close to you make me jealous as all get out!
