rhymes with spoon

Is anyone still reading this blog? This working full time, commuting 3 hours a day, and crafting/blogging is REALLY hard. The new job is moving along nicely but saying I'm tired is something of an understatement. Still, the one upshot of an insanely long bus commute is the opportunity to catch up on old episodes of This American Life while knitting away. I'm currently obsessed with hand dyed yarns. Seriously obsessed....

Like Koigu KPPPM:

Chevron scarf from Last Minute Knitted Gifts

And Manos de Uruguay Handspun Multi Colors:

Mistake rib is the perfect stitch to highlight all the beautiful colors.

I was going to knit a hat but after I saw this, I knew it would look better as a scarf.


And Noro Kureyon:

Another Last Minute Knitted Gifts pattern....the name escapes me at the moment.

I swear the sad evening lighting of our kitchen does NOT do these yarns justice. The colors are incredible! Now if I could only get a little sewing in....then life would be truly grand!
