Yarn Slut

Going back to work has been an eye opener. I only work one day a week, but it is so intense that it wipes me out. What may not be helping is that the airconditioner isn't working and although it hasn't been real hot, it is warm. I sure hope that this doesn't continue. It doesn't feel as if I have been gone, so I guess I'm back in the swing of things again.

I have been knitting socks, but have slowed down. I had hoped to have another 2 pair completed by Friday, but I will be lucky to get one pair complete. I am working on a basic sock pattern using Jknits Superwash me sock in the Reno colorway with a size 2 needle. I love the feel of this yarn and like how it's knitting up.

I am also knitting the basic sock pattern using The Sanguine Gryphon's Eidos handpainted sock yarn in the Pythagoras colorway using size 2 needles. I really love this yarn. It is soft and has a tight twist to it. I couldn't resist, so I ordered more. You will just have to wait until a future blog post to see the colors.

I finished the July Monthly Dishcloth KAL. The pattern is called Love to Knit. I used Peaches and Creme cotton yarn in Teal Blue with a size 6 needle.

I have been on a sock buying binge (I guess I never stop buying sock yarn), but I can't resist.

I got two skeins of yarn from Scout's Swag. They are both a Superwash merino yarn. One colorway is Powercouples

The other is a colorway called Orchids - This is a favorite colorway.

I purchased more JKnits yarn from Knitwitz and sew much more. The colorway is Providence.

I couldn't resist Cherry Tree Hill's handpainted yarn using Louet yarn. It's 100% superwash fingering merino in the Old Rose colorway. I purchased this from Kraemers Yarn Shop.

Also from Kraemers Yarn Shop, I purchased Indie Dyer's 100% Superwash fingering merino. I don't know the colorway, but it's really a pretty color. Apparently, Indie Dyer is the daughter to Cheryl from Cherry Tree Hill.

More Whitewillow yarn tempted me. This is 75% superwash and 25% nylon in the rock candy colorway.

I couldn't resist adding these yarns to my cart from the Loopy Ewe (this is my very favorite online yarn store). From left to right is Neighborhood Fiber Company in the colorways Brookland and Brightwood, JKnits Superwash me Sock in Providence and Spindle City Yarns in Copper Pot.

I know, I know ..... I am just a Yarn Slut. Stay tuned for more yarn to come.
