Manos Cotton

Photo by Wine Me Up

A few weeks ago I was checking out my Flickr contact's photos when I stopped at the one above. Right away, I needed to know what that pattern was and what that yarn was. Luckily Meg answered me back and before I knew it, I was shopping at WEBS and some Malabrigo Cotton of my very own came to live with me.



I can't wait to make washclothes out of this. It sounds silly but I love hand knitted wash clothes, they feel so good on my skin.

Red Barn Raising

I finished my square for
Sheep in the City's blanket project! I really enjoyed making this square but I don't know if I could make more! This blanket is really one to make with your friends!



I also acquired some more sock yarn for myself this week. ScoutJ was nice enough to let me buy this yarn from her. It was a very special dye she tells me which makes it even more special to me.

I am itching to cast on for some socks! ITCHING!

Stash Enhancement

A few weeks ago, Scout posted on Flickr about a skein of yarn she dyed after reading newest issue of Domino Magazine.



I quickly pipped in and demanded my own skein which Scout graciously made for me.



It arrived this weekend and I spent time winding it up last night. I can't wait to make some beautiful socks out of this beautiful colorway. It's practically perfect with the brown, pink, blue and purple in it.
