New Yarn!

On December 4, 2008, in yarn, by Anna

My new yarn arrived from Yarntopia today. From top to bottom it’s 100% Bamboo in Emerald, a Bamboo/Cotton blend in Olive Oil, and 6/2 Rayon Tencel in Raindrop.

The emerald yarn is sport weight, and the other two are fingering weight. I’m itching to start using it, and even though I already have one vacation project planned, I think one of these skeins will have to sneak into the bag as well.
Aside from that, the Wollmeise in Rosenrot is coming with me. That shawl is already in progress (I had to cast on and get through the first 40 rows or so just to make sure I knew what the gauge was, to size the shawl). Seeing as how the yarn is so difficult to get a hold of, I can’t run out of yarn…. :-)

I’m also working on the Weasley Sweater. I have completed the back and about half of the front, so it’s moving along nicely. The reason it’s taking so long to get through it is that I only have very limited time to work on it while the recipient is not around, and I would really like it to be a surprise. Oh well…. there is still some time left before it has to be wrapped.
