So, it's Fiber Fever Friday and I have some beautiful fiber to share today:
It's Andes by Debbie Bliss -- an Alpaca and Mulberry Silk blend. These beauties were an amazing find at Knitting Sisters in Williamsburg at 80% off. Obviously, I grabbed all I could -- exhibiting the only negative characteristic of the fiber obsessed -- pure fiber greed... :-)
No plans for it as of yet, I only have 400 meters and it's going to have to be something really awesome... Maybe a scarf with a green and white cable? I dunno... Any ideas?
The Night Circus continues to be an amazing read, or listen rather, and it's hard to turn off -- keeping me up late into the night for just a little bit more. I love books like that. I'm contemplating a Night Circus inspired shawl pattern -- it would be my first. I'll have to think on it some more but the inspiration is certainly there.
Finally, only 7 days until the first annual South East Men's Knitting Retreat! Dunno if I'm leaving Thursday evening or really early Friday morning for the 8 hour drive. Perhaps I'll move Fiber Fever Friday to Thursday next week...
Have a great weekend all! Knit Happy!
wow! you really scored big with that yarn! It's gorgeous. Makes me sad that I'm on a yarn diet (as declared in writing in blogland--bummer.)
ReplyDeleteI'll be gone while you're at the retreat--have a great time! Will you be taking classes, or is it just knit time?
What lovely yarn! It looks really soft!
