Mondays are never fun, but it helps to have yarn. Lots of yarn.
My chief enabler is Christine of Three Dog Knits, who held a destashing sale for an extremely good cause. (I do believe she still has yarn left, if you’re interested in helping.)
I couldn’t resist getting some sock yarn. (Always with the sock yarn!) This is Sunshine Yarn’s Heather TD. This is a really lovely yarn. I love the tight twist and the color is just gorgeous. Unfortunately I couldn’t get an accurate rendering of it’s true color. It’s blue, not purple. My camera sucks.
My mother immediately requested socks for herself. She rarely gets excited about such things, so even though I adore this yarn I’ll be knitting her socks.
Luckily I also got some Louet Gems in Teal. These are all mine.
And I couldn’t resist buying a skein of Noro Kureyon in color no. 92 for another fish.
Despite the riches you see before you, I just had to check out this sale on Cascade 220 at Ben Franklin. It was 2 for $10, except that I missed the sale by one or two days. My disappointment was a mighty thing of great proportions.
Since I was there, I wasn’t going to leave empty handed. I just scaled down my shopping list. So I bought a couple of colors for the Bar Harbor Shell Bag.
I’m not sure if these are the exact colors I’m going to use for the bag yet, but they sure are pretty.
Finally, one last skein of a lovely charcoal color.
This skein is destined to be a hat. Not for me, but for a gift. I’m not sure for who or what kind of hat yet, but it will be a hat.
Oh yes, Mondays are definitely better with yarn. :)
