That whooping you heard was me getting (finally) my skein of Dani's Candy Cane yarn (check under sold items, 'cause there certainly won't be any in the shop). Yeehaw! I can barely contain myself -- I've been checking every day, but not religiously enough apparently, until today. Pics when I get it. Which will be fast. Because Dani rocks...
Other Stash Enhancement
I ordered these 5 colors of Koigu for a shawl...what shawl, I know not. Just that the spirit moved me and I had some cash in my knitting account. You'll remember that I don't particularly like the Charlotte's Web shawl...nothing against it , I just didn't like knitting it. But I like the idea of it -- the waves of color, the fringe...We'll see. Oh. And I like the Koigu. I'm all about full disclosure.
And these two skeins of this color if Anne
(Schaeffer's sock yarn) again, most likely for a shawl, but maybe for some Gathering of Lace gloves for someone for Christmas...Check on the gifts blog for updates on these.
And
, drum roll please, this merino silk from Judy in the Spruce colorway. It is fabulously soft and nearly a sin...but not. OMG, I love this stuff. I think a wintry shawl, but maybe something else. I got enough of it to do a lacey jacket....So much to knit, so little time.
oooo, that is some wonderful stash enhancement. Lucky you for scoring the Candy Cane yarn ... I can't wait to see it knit up.
Just so I can keep my B.A., I did get the allusion ... but thought it wouldn't be seemly to show off again so soon.

Yummy colors of Koigu. I knit Charlotte's Web with 5 colors and loved it! Shaeffer Anne is wonderful for shawls. I have some in my stash but haven’t knit with it yet. You do good stash enhancing.;-)

You know, for a woman who keeps talking about reducing the stash..... Than again, I went to Target today and Claudia talked me into some fun stuff, so I should just keep my mouth shut.
