So I have been sort of saving stuff cause I really am attempting to be a better blogger. Anyway a while back while looking at the fold, I saw what to my mind was one of the most amazing STR colorways out there. So first I called BMFA and they told me (nicely) they didn’t do special orders so I was looking around on flickr and noticed someone had what appeared to be an unused skein. So I emailed the lovely Dani at Yea, I knit and asked if I could bribe her to part with it. She agreed and it happily got here last week. Though I do seem to be getting on a first name basis with Joann from BMFA, which I find a bit alarming;) Today I took photographs of it and of the stash enrichment the knit happens sale afforded me. I have to say that although I’ve read about the problems people had I got everything I ordered. Now one of the things I ordered had been mislabeled but still for 60% off approximately I’ll live with it. Some of the Nature Wool I ordered was listed as a worsted but was in fact a chunky. Oh well I needed yarn for the fiber trends clogs anyway. I have some other stuff that came in but I’ll save that for a latter blog post. In my current knitting eh…ummm I’ve been reading alot and I did some tinking yesterday. Its the knitty chatroom you see, I find it hard to type and knit:) Since most people read blogs for pics….Behold my Craptastic Photography! (in my defense I have improved and the light was utter shite today)
So first the lovely STR colorway Jasper
Now we have the Cherry Tree Hill in Winterberry and Northern Lights
Here is the Nature wool in different shades of purple the one on the left is the chunky that was mislabeled.
Cascade 220 in ruby and Alchemy in Scarlets Dark Secret. I got enough alchemy for another clap but I am not totally sure that’s what it will be.
And here we have the last of it, To the left is the yarn I got for thermal. It’s rowan’s cashsoft 4ply in loganberry and some Debbie bliss is uhh burgundy I guess. No clue on the debbie bliss stuff but I figure it would make a nice cardigan at some point.
/me runs away with yarn pics and needles – to have a little “moment”
those are lovely
