Yipee!
My order from Webs just arrived and it is beautiful… and only one skein for me! I am very proud of this self control. While knitting all my queued projects I can dream about what to make with my renegade yarn.
(I’m feeling too lazy to link to each yarn, so if you dare, click on over to Webs and check it out for yourself!)
Noro Kureyon – my first Noro and it is amazing!
Madelinetosh DK in Tart – Pretty, but not as special as the hype would suggest
Rowan Felted Tweed in Carbon
and in Pine – nice and rustic!
Rowan Cocoon in Crag
and Shale – Oh my, this yarn is smooth and soft and divine!
Cascade 220 Heathers in Summer Sky
and Peacock – which has pink and green fibers giving it an iridescent look without being shiny – amazing!
Malabrigo Rasta in Zarzamora
and Abril – this one is MINE all MINE!
(Appologies for all the exclamation marks. I’m a pretty recent knitting convert and seeing all the yarns I’ve only ever read about right in front of me, and holding them in my own hands makes me very excited.)

Oh! I made a baby sweater from the Cascade 220! Really nice to knit with.

Cool! I heard it was nice and was pretty impressed. Also it’s just nice to see the rainbow of colors it comes in.

I’m absolutely drooling over this haul. Makes me want to go and overspend in a yarn store!

well, that’s over half of my stash… just trying to get a nice selection, right? actually, pretty much everything already has a project assigned to it to be finished by the holidays, so i don’t feel too bad.
