Why Fall ROCKS!!

I only have one thing to say and the rest I'll leave to photos...OMG!!!















I think I might have to put my yarn diet on hold. *swoons*

FOs...not to be mistaken for UFOs

Ahhh... a moment to myself.

Well in the recent days I've accomplished a miracle number of FO's (Finished Objects to you non knitters).

There was the Clapotis, a drop stitch wrap of sorts. I made mine out of Blue Heron Rayon Metallic. It a really pretty shade of light blue, sage, and sand with a sprinkle of gold metallic. I'll post a close up next time.



Then in lighting speed (3 days), I finished a knitted cable bag. I remade this bag.. It's all the rage this fall, or so I've seen in fashion magazines.




Here is how the lining looks. I even added a pocket!



And the last but most amazing miracle, I finished the second sock to my Interweave Knit's Embossed Leaves sock!




I conquered second sock syndrome! And just so I dont ever get it again - I've started my next pair together on one very long circular needle. I'm making the Unst from this book.



I got this luscious yarn at School Products for only 4 bucks a hank!

Notice the grass?

YUP! Allen and I went to Central Park yesterday. It was nice. I wish it hadn't been so crowded but we had fun none the less. To make the day even better - Allen recieved a buy one get on free chocolate milkshake coupon in the mail the day before!!







I bought some yummies to hold us down on the grass.



As we were leaving, we headed into Barnes & Noble and I saw this:



It just made me laugh and think of my Hope when she is waiting for food.

All right - off to knit some more. See yall next month!

I dream of Yarnie

Brief blog about my complete and utter obsession over yarn. Suss Designs is closing their store in NY. I'm going to miss that place. It was different from every other yarn store in NY. It was big and roomy. It had lots of natural light. It was very natural. It felt like walking into a organic spa... except with yarn.





Now for the obsessive part. They are having a 50 - 70% off sale on EVERYTHING in the store. Right down to the baskets that hold the yarn!



I made out like a bandit.



Most of that is for intended projects. I had no choice but to shop with purpose. It was the only way to keep my purchases down to a respectable level. I did by some strays but I managed to keep them to a minimum.





Beautiful green combed cotton





Alpaca tweed in beige and taupe





Acrylic wool in pinks and greens





Extrafine merino in antique orange





Cream wool



And I couldnt resist these that I have been eyeing since they came into the store a few weeks ago!



I believe that I could regurgitate yarn now. Excuse me while I fondle my new fibers...
