And since we've been packing, I can say:

I have a CRAPLOAD of yarn.

That is all.

New haul of fancy string today. To mitigate the growing stash, I picked out some yarn to send to Sarah today. Mostly lovely things I just don't think I'll ever use or remnants from socks I've made in the past. Because she's making things for her kids, hopefully they can be of some use to her. I also added in a tshirt that I bought her awhile ago.

But onto the new yarns. I got some Louet Fingering Weight for the bmp socks. I'm going to use my new Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Irving Park to make Pomatomus socks, and the Miss Priss will become a Mr. Greenjeans. Busy busy busy. General Bonkers would be horrified.

Diets are overrated. Take yarn diets for example... I get the concept, but I just can't stick to them. Like at all. Got a shipment from Blue Moon today, from my feverish "OMG RAVEN" ordering last week. Absolutely gorgeous. Thraven for a sweater, plus Rook-y, Backstabber, and Pond Scum for socks. The colors are, of course, wonderfully rich. I'm delighted.

Sock yarn and cobra basket down. Just, uh, all the rest left. Pulling out all my yarn to document it makes me want to make a pile of it in the middle of the floor and just roll around in it. But I won't.

I took my camera to Stitches West. Honest. But I'm not in the habit of having it and they had this "photography is strictly forbidden" thing, so the only picture I took all day was this one of Karrie.


I like the way that my inability to hold the camera perfectly still translated into that "Moonlighting" effect. Notice that she's wearing lipstick. Schmancy! This was at the beginning of the day, when we were all sleepy but not yet wiped out.
What the hell is it with me and sock yarn? I have a serious problem. I need to go to Sock Yarn Buyers Anonymous:


Five skeins of sock yarn and three sets of DPNs. I have issues.

Promises, promises. I'm actually going to keep this one. But first let me say an emphatic thank you to the non-prissy non-snobby knitting circle. Seriously. Most of the people in that sock class were great, but there were just a few... At any rate, back to the good news:
I finished a sock!

The other one still needs a heel, but not bad for a week's work! As promised, here's a pic of the last socks I made:

Which are, as previously mentioned, now destined to be a Christmas present. And here's another:

That one is a bit hard to see, since it's on that stash basket. And what is in the stash basket, you may ask? Both the lovely and the "why is that there"?
First, the good stuff:

Check out that Tesla. Cotton and stainless steel. Currently, destined to be a skinny scarf.
And a few other lovelies:

The polar will be a present. The Crystal FX... I don't know yet. I'm awfully fond of the grenadine one. Maybe I need a glittery red scarf?
And now the ugly, but it has a purpose:

I was thinking about making a Hallowig. I'm just not sure when I'll have the time.
And that's not all that's in the stash basket. Some Calmer for Audrey, dish cloth cotton, and a few skeins of sock yarn round out the bunch.
And one closing pic. My poor in-progress cardigan. Who will get to it first? Bonnie or the giant squid?

Now, I'm off to bed. I'm coming down with something and I don't want to be sick for knitting night!
