Across from top left - Regia sock yarn, 2 skeins of Rowan Soft Lux, 4 skeins of Louisa Harding merino and cashmere, 2 skeins of Louisa Harding Kimono Angora, and Gedifra Donatella (showing 2 of 9 skeins).
I enjoy yarn shopping in other places... it is a great way to take in the local culture.
I have been working on finishing various other projects. I completed the blanket for my grandmother (no pictures yet) which is cause for a big sigh of relief. It always stresses me out to have to knit for deadlines. Thus I have decided not to knit too many Christmas presents this year.
I finally dug through the stash and found a nice scarf pattern for my Swedish linen (purchased this summer). I found it on some random free site (sorry I don't have the link). Check out the close up of the leaf pattern:
And a picture of the scarf, nearing completion:
I have since finished it and it is very nice. I need to do some final blocking prior to taking it out for a spin but I am definitely pleased.Finally, I couldn't resist casting on for a new project... a pair of wrist warmers made out of the Louisa Harding angora yarn. It is yummy and soft and should make for some nice light warmth.
I am nearly up to the thumb hole part. They are pretty quick and easy.Next time, I will hopefully have pictures of my Blackberry in process and Samus.
Cheers!
