Shopping List

Knitting has taken a back seat this week to a bunch of paperwork (bills, soccer team registrations, etc.) So I will satisfy my knitting needs by ordering a bunch of stuff! I'll be placing my order with Yarn Barn of Kansas. Their web site isn't much to look at, but their print catalog is my most favorite.

First stop: socks! My sock knitting has gotten very boring lately. My current pair is with some ho-hum grayish Regia yarn. It's not motivating me at all! Here's some yarn that will be much more fun, I think:

It's Maxi Ringel by Blauband. I'll get two or three different colors.

Next: a sock pattern for the Koigu I've already got in the stash:

Some Dale Baby Ull for the pattern my sister-in-law picked out:

I'll also be ordering some Peace Fleece to make the Rogue hoodie (I think I'll order that yarn direct from the manufacturer), and I want some more Bearfoot sock yarn - it's just so soft and comfy (I'd prefer to buy that yarn from a shop so I can touch before buying.)

I'll have to look at the checkbook to make sure my spending spree is not depriving my children of Christmas gifts.

Comments

Whoo-hoooooo on the Koigu pattern. And I wish I had had a SIL like you um... let's see... 23 years ago next Saturday ;-) The baby sweater is truly adorable.
