All day I dream about S.E.X.
Stash Enrichment eXpedition that is.
So I went to a new yarn store yesterday. It's called Why not Knit & the ladies were lovely! Welcoming & very easy to talk to. I ended up buying yarn for all but one of my projects in the queue.
With the encouragement of yahaira and byrony I got the Rowan Polar for the lace leaf pullover from loop-d-loop. I got it in red hot which is a really great fall red. Not too bright, not too orangey!! Plus at $8.00 a ball it was a steal!
I also got some brown sheep cotton fleece for the ballet tee (also from loop-d-loop). I got it in a really great steely grey blue called Rue.
I still need to get some yarn for the fingerless mitts.....
I probably won't start any of these til' I finish up the cardi I am working on now but I do plan on swatching for the lace leaf pullover tonight.
Oh & before I forget, camping pics are here.

You are very much my knitting idol right now: the leaf sweater is so gorgeous and I'd love to see how it looks in red!! :)
Awwww!! Erin that is really nice of you to say!
I've just become completely obsessed with knitting lately. In a good way though!
I think this sweater screams for red as well. Oddly enough I have been trying to stop knitting so many things for myself in blue & red. So what yarns do I buy? Blue & Red of course!! Oh well, maybe next time!

Hi Leah! The camping pictures looked absolutely dreamy. Thanks for posting them.
Also, you kick so much ass with knitting! That doll is AMAZING! Plus your tops are gorgeous, as usual. I want to knit something to wear (other than a scarf) but I'm just too scared! Perhaps I'll get enough courage someday. :-)

Amy you should try a garment! There are so many easy shrug patterns & sweater patterns even. It's all about increasing & decreasing. Sometimes shaping the neck can be a pain but after your first sweater you will get the hang of it!!
Just PM me on craftster if you want some pattern recommendations!!
