Stash & Needles

On September 29, 2007, in Uncategorized, by Anna

First of all, a big thank you to all who have signed up for the Mystic Waters KAL. I’m looking to the start of the KAL. Sign ups are still open, so if you’d like to join us, don’t be shy.

In the meantime, I’m busy working on a couple of secret projects, so I don’t have a lot of pictures to share. I do however have a few new needles, acquired at that grand place called ebay. Four new addi turbo needles in various sizes that will soon be put to good use.

I also have a stash-confession. In spite of my best attempts to keep it down, it just keeps growing. I am however making a dent. Here we have 3 skeins of bulky brown alpaca (warm winter shawl), 1 skein of Blåmussla (lace shawl), 3 skeins of Apple Laine (in Chianti and Sunny Days – planned socks), 3 skeins of Freedom Wool (white/green for my daughters hat), 4 skeins of LANG (green/silver for a Moebius scarf) and 2 skeins of Scheepjes (winter scarf)

There is also my birthday present – Noro Kureyon for the Lizard Ridge Afghan still in progress. I’m almost half done, but it was a little too warm during the summer to knit wool-afghans. I’m thinking it will go faster as the weather cools down.

Finally some odds and ends. Not so photogenic, but I DO have some leftover yarn from various projects. Not sure what to do with them, but I’m sure they will come in handy some day. There is a little bit of Hidden Touch alpaca (from Swan Lake/MS3), some Indigo Apple Laine (from the Falling in Love socks), some Cotton (from when my daughter learned how to crochet), some Aran wool, Scheepjes, and random acrylics. All good to have for knitting dolls, etc.

Well, hope you enjoyed the tour. Come back later and see the yarn turned into something more interesting. Maybe I’ll get started on that Moebius scarf over the weekend…..
