Of course, with the imminent demise of my favorite shop, it was imperative that I make some purchases to tide me over until I find another favorite yarn shop. Or open my own. But that's another story.
So today I went out to the shop and this is what I got:
In the upper left corner you see balls of red, gold and white Zara along with a ball of green wool acquired at the Knitter's Frolic. These are destined to be a sweater for Doug -- along with a lot of other balls of green.
Immediately below the Zara is a hank of yellow/cream baby alpaca. This will be mittens for the upcoming winter.
Lying next to the alpaca are two balls of alpaca in lovely jewel tones. These will become either mittens or a hat.
The mauve is an alpaca/silk blend, destined to become a sweater shown in the current Interweave Knits. For myself, if you can imagine.
There are two hanks of hand-dyed alpaca, crying to become a shawl.
Two balls of Regia silk, planned to be a pair of socks for Doug.
Three balls of cotton, which want to be a summer top.
Eleven hanks of a lovely cotton blend which also want to become a summer top.
There are some balls of Debbie Bliss cotton/angora blend which will become a summer top.
There are also ten hanks of Silky Wool which will become a wonderful top for me.
So much knitting, so many fibers. My mind went into overload and I couldn't give you a careful description of them.
Sigh. I'm in heaven.
