Amidst my lovely azaleas before the frost got them...
My daughter, she loves penguins. So when I showed her this colorway, naturally she said yes.
The best part other than it being sportweight, she only likes plain socks!! Yes, it is always good to have just an easy knit, no pattern needed (well for me, still perfecting the short row heel, so I sometimes have to look at a pattern.) These socks will be started as soon as I get her Gryffindor's done. Great car and appointment knitting!
PS: These were purchased from Woolgirl, a new online LYS. I love online LYS's, as I don't have easy access to one, and due to being on call most of the time, can't go. Each one I visit and purchase from has so many different things to offer. Which, come to think of it..can be bad LOL!
I think Amy is planning an update sometime in June. As for knitting, mainly working on some socks! Yikes, I have 3 pairs OTN actively working and 1 other pair waiting to be finished. As for pink petal blanket...hopefully this weekend!!

See, I really do think yellow can work when you do it right. It's such an under-rated color. Poor yellow. ;D
So cute!! And I love the Sport Weight Spunky Eclectic yarn... super soft....I ordered some too from Woolgirl- my new favorite online store! I found out about it from this yarn enabler I know...hmmm...YOU!!! Love ya Z! Just placed another order last night, can you believe it?! Hey, we're in crisis mode here at Irishgirlie's house, its okay I think :)
Can't wait to see the blanket though.
What a great color! I'm off to go check out the new online store.
Have a great weekend!
Ooooh! Happy yellow yarn on a gloomy day!
Yay for sports weight:) I am excited to see how this is going to look knitted up into a pair of socks for your dear daughter. They look super squishy soft too! Of course I have one of those monitors that I can see things like that,LOL
Love it! For someone who doesn't like yellow - you sure have ending up with a lot of yellow yarn!
Thanks for the link to the new shop!
What a cool colorway!! I can't wait to see how it knits up.
Awesome colorway!
Very nice - can't wait to see this one knit up.
wowie. i don't LOVE yellow, but this colorway is great. i look forward to seeing how it comes out.
I'm gaining a new appreciation for yellow all the time! Lovely colorway.
aah, that yellow, black, grey, and white really look good together on the skein. can't wait to see these knit up.
i have so many projects on the needles, i don't know what to do! :-D
Your daughter and I are on the same wavelength! I actually bought the other version of this colorway from Woolgirl (it has more black than yellow). I had a really hard time choosing between them, glad to see where the other yarn ended up. :)
I was thinking bumblebee at first, but penguin nails it!
Uncomplicated daughter! - send her over!
*Drooling all over my keyboard here* - amazingly beautiful colors!
Ooh I like, I'm not usually a fan of yellow, but that works really well.
Hey I missed reading your blog lately.....but ohhh I'm not a yellow person but I love the name being a penguin fan..... I use to have a yellow suit in college that I wore often but I reminded myself of a bumble bee.....lol
I have to have a looksie at it knitted up......but from the looks of it, it's be very nice! Heck I bet they'll be perfect socks!!
