One down, one to go


I'm 75% done with this project. After Bellatrix, I still need to finish Kim's Uzume socks and then I will be working on some projects for my Ravelry groups. Luckily, some of the projects will fill requirements for multiple groups. I want to make Anna Peck's "Simply Ginny!" socks in either Sweet Sheep Sweet Sock "Pink Cherries" or Claudia Hand-painted's "Peppermint Mocha", and from there, probably Monkey Toes' "Nagini" socks in Knit Pick's "Leprechaun."

mmm...yarn cake!



Hooray for cake! Here are the latest pics of my newest stash recruits! I have my freshly wound cake of CTH's Orange Marmalade in supersock dk from the Loopy Ewe, my new purchase from YarnMaiden on Ravelry: Knit Picks' Gossamer in the Leprechaun color way, as well as some "cupcakes" from Lambyknits' leftovers.

Just playing the waiting game....





Well, I just spent a lot of money (that I shouldn't have) on yarn and notions yesterday. I found the most adorable HP stitch markers on Etsy and had to have them. Also, I needed a new pair of circs after having just frogged my latest socks *GGRRRRR!!!* so I ordered a new pair of #2s on Knit Picks. I also found some awesome new yarns, on their site! I ordered: Shimmer in Turquoise Splender, Alpaca Cloud in Iris Heather, Essential Tweed in Russet, Gossamer in Sweet Pea ( I wanted Leprechaun too but it was all gone). I also ordered a hank of Cherry Tree Hill in Orange Marmalade for my Fawkes socks from the Loopy Ewe
