Yarn Pr0ny Pics

Today was the annual sale at Knit n Knibble in Tampa. Here is my haul...



I didn't go apeshite crazy for a change. 1 ball of Austermann Step (hello 20% off), 2 skeins of Malabrigo (15% off), and 8 balls of Brilla for the drop stitch T-shirt I want to make (40% off). I believe I am set in the yarn dept for quite a while. Seriously, I think it's more that I'm totally spoiled by the Wollmeise colors... so now I find most other stuff kinda boring. I'm sure this yarn snobbery will pass.

Here is the pic I promised of the limited edition Tofutsies colorway



And a pic of my current favorite WIP - Diamante Socks using the Trekking my sis brought back from Germany (with cameo/pic hogging by Queue).

Ravelry and clapotis (hey, I rhyme)

RAVELRY

Oh Ravelry, how I am becoming addicted to you. First it was the forums...now I have sworn to friend everyone with a cat avatar (not really a long story...but not an interesting one so I'll spare you.) It is such a joy to look not only at other people's wonderful triumphs but to feel the camaraderie of the knitting disasters that everyone shares.

CLAPOTIS

Oh Clapotis, how I am bored to tears by your repetitive pattern. Luckily I am using malabrigo so the softness of the fabric makes up for the constant k1, ktbl, k3, ktbl. However, dropping stitches with malabrigo is a time consuming business. I'm almost 1/4 of the way done with it...so it shouldn't be too much longer. I know it will be beautiful when it's done.

KNIT IT PUBLIC DAY

Tomorrow is World Wide Knit In Public Day and apparently all of the other local knitters took this to mean "let's meet up super early in the morning and knit." So, I may not make it to any of the "planned" events but I will be knitting in public at some time within that 24 hour period. I hope to see others out there knitting too.

YARN SCHOOL

It's a possibility that I will be attending "Yarn School" in September. Supercool! I'm crossing my fingers that Ms. M says "let book it." WOOT.
