Soon maybe I’ll have some finished things. This is a fun quick knit, it’s the Racerback Tank from the current VK minus the pocket. How can they suggest a wool yarn for something so summery?? Cotton Ease is the better choice!

I ordered some yarns. 5 balls (soon to be 6 since the seller screwed up the dyelots) of Pistachio Cotton Ease…it is so soft and inexpensive…and I don’t have any Pistachio. I ordered yarn from HandPaintedYarn

. One hank of the laceweight in Butter and another in the Sapphire Magenta Gold and one of the Ejido 160 in Picnic. The Butter is going to be a lace stole I have ideas for. The other two are just for fun.

I LOVE THIS! Last weekend I went to the Yarn Loft and we got to see the brand new Noro yarns! I got the pretty Silver Thaw in Color #2… Green, Grey, Pink, Purple and Yellow. I got two more today after deciding I wanted a Clapotis with it. It’s 50% wool and 25/25 Angora and Nylon. For the angora content…it’s surprisingly not fuzzy, halo-y, or sheddy.

This is one of those projects where I drop everything else and knit this till I’m finished.

Yarn purchases. I bought some pink alpaca blend yarn a few weeks ago and never mentioned it. Some minty Brown Sheep Superwash. Three balls of a gradiated yarn by Di.Ve in peachy pinks and purples. Cascade 220 in a persimmony orangey red I’ve loved for a really long time. Cascade Fixation in a minty aqua for the Petit Chou set, I’ve already finished the bottoms. Noro’s new Silver Thaw and I’ll be buying two more hanks this weekend for a really amazing Clapotis. I also knit a baby set of socks and a hat for my new cousin. I also did an orange hat for my brother from LP Bulky that he guilted me into making. I asked what he’d want me to knit him for Christmas and he said he wanted an orange hat but that I never finish anything for him so he wouldn’t expect it. But I finished it! Today I ordered some of Palette, the new KnitPicks yarn, in Peach. I’m going to make the Lucky Clover wrap thingy from Stitch N Bitch Nation. I also bought Rebecca 27 on eBay today…I want to make that ‘Apricot Jacket’ with the yellow Cotton Ease I have.

Okay, I’ve had the page open for hours planning to update, I need to get it over with. Last week I bought the Rebecca 27 mag and sped through the back and left front of the Apricot Jacket. I was saving my Banana Cream Cotton Ease for something special. Jennie/trailerhomey/JT/what do you want to be called? is making one too in the same color.

Then I got my KnitPicks yarn. Palette in Peach. I’m making the Lucky wrap from Stitch n Bitch Nation. I can definitely see me getting tons of this done at school. I’m using Addis in a size that seems to be inbetween a 2 and a 3. I don’t DO gauge. (maybe that’s why most of things I knit don’t fit..) But I held up what I knit so far ( just finished the decreasing and I’m knitting straight for an inch before increasing) and it looks like it will fit PERFECTLY. I hope.

Then there’s the Silver Thaw Clapotis. I kind of wish kept it solid and didn’t do the drops. But whatever. I just started the second ball. It’s pretty long as it is, I don’t know if I’ll hit the third hank or not. (They’re the 100g ones not the 50g balls). I can totally see myself wearing this in the fall and winter around campus.

This is an easy 1×1 ribbed scarf I’m making using Di.Ve’s Teseo. (I keep thinking Tessio from The Godfather!) Super-soft and loosely spun. I’m using coordinating peachy pink needles. I’ve got two balls of this stuff and think it’ll be substantially long enough.
