So, I have been replenishing the stash. Not that it really needed it, but I did it anyway. You know that feeling when you go into your closet and you feel like you have nothing to wear? Someone else may come along and say, "What are you talking about, you have this, this and that!" Sometimes you are just not feeling it. Well, that is how I was feeling about my stash. So I went on-line and filled some carts.
I really tried to think outside my usual "color" box. I also wanted to purchase some new yarn that I haven't tried before. Do you wanna see?
Is it possible for a yarn color to be sexy? I would have to say yes to Tosh-Gossamer.
Cherry Tree Hill Sock-Indian Summer
My first Sweet Georgia- Pomegranate
Schaefer Yarn Anne-Strawberry Sunrise
Lorna's Shepherd Sock-Sherbet (yum)
I know...the last three have my usual pink in there, but it can't be helped. So I kind of went out of my usual color range. :)
My time at work is still cutting my knitting time in half. Hopefully I will finish something to show soon. The giveway from my last post is still going. I have loved reading some of your yarn choices.
I am going to try and squeeze in some blog reading tomorrow morning. It is kind of like my yoga, it relaxes me to read all of your posts. In the meantime, I am completely in love with this song...enjoy and happy yarning!

it's all lovely and you deserve it....a stash has to be replenished or it isn't a stash...it's just balls of wool hanging around ....and we can't have that...I have started looking online for yarn and think I may have done myself an injury....my jaw won't close anymore...either from the shock of how cheap it is or how expensive...plus I'm not used to seeing such beauty...the big M craft store is a disgrace when it comes to what they call yarn!!!
hope the work slows down soon so you can start in on the newbies....
take care sweetness

Lovely stash replenishing...I have the opposite goal this year. No more buying yarn until most is gone. It has been tough but so far I have stuck with it...we'll see how the year progresses :)

A love all the colors and brand (!) you chose although I have only tried Malabrigo sock and Sweet Georgia so far... I look forward to see the Sorbet socks. They will be yummy for sure!
