Aren't these colors all so happy? There's sock yarn which makes great gloves - as well as socks, of course. And some alpaca/silk for more gloves - it's the pretty dark green in front.. The dark red wool will make this vest. Sorry, I can't figure out how to download the photo.
I have cast on the first pair of gloves in that pretty dark green. Oh, it's so soft and light and, I hope, warm. To heck with all those other things crying for my attention...I have new yarn!
Lovely assortment.
ReplyDeleteI need to make some more mittens; maybe I'll use some of my sock yarn. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful colors. They even look good all together. That's the fanciest, prettiest vest I've ever seen. They used to call those kind of closures "frogs", but I don't know if they still do.
ReplyDeleteI am peeking through my fingers. Gosh, I have terrible yarn envy right now.
ReplyDeleteIt's such fun to get new stuff and even better if it comes in the mail. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Stephanie, on the excitement of getting packages in the post.
ReplyDeleteThe dark green alpaca/silk is wonderful looking, can't wati to see the finished product- you will post, won't you?
Now, i'm off to Elann!
Can't believe you bought new yarn with all the yarn you got a Christmas! ;)
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous colours! I've only ever ordered from Ram Wools in Winnipeg or Mary Maxim in Ontario. Enjoy the lovely soft yarn. I'm going to check out the Elann site as well.
ReplyDeleteDeb - I was wondering when someone would notice that! I needed some plain yarn for the gloves which aren't for me. I'm not giving away my beautiful gift yarns.
ReplyDeleteVery nice variety of colors. My eyes are drawn to the red at the top and the dark green at the bottom. Love the look of that vest you're going to make. It will be gorgeous in the red!
ReplyDeleteI was supposed to take a beginner's knitting class tomorrow but it has been canceled. Now to wait another two or three weeks before it is rescheduled. =(
