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...
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.
