What could be better than some beautiful new yarn to help you over the hump of the week? Since I am adamant about finishing my WIPS, I am having a hard time not casting these yummies on. First up...
This is Lorna's Laces Worsted. Yes I said worsted, for those of you who know I do not like to use anything over Dk weight. :) This yarn is for my 15 year old nephew who has been requesting a new blanket. Who I am I to deny my love a blanket? I am thinking a crochet ripple blanket. I am also going to be ordering some darker colors, to help "man" it up a bit.(I am thinking Charcoal) Luckily he is okay with color. I had to go to a couple different places to get the colors I was after, Eat Sleep Knit and The Loopy Ewe.
I added a few skeins of Sock yarn to my stash. (again from ESK and The Loopy Ewe).
You know I had to add some pink in there. :) The top one is Drama Queen and the bottom Cotton Candy. I love those names.
Tonight will be about weaving in ends on my Malabrigo Granny pillow (It is so close!!) and a little work on the sock yarn blanket. My goal is to have as many WIPS done as possible before my Mystery Shawl KAL starts at the end of this month. Wish me luck. While weaving I am going to treat myself to some Chicken Curry and a movie.
Has anyone seen this? I have heard a lot of good things.
Enjoy your Wednesday hopefully your doing something fun to get over the hump!

Can't wait to see the blanket
