Look What I Made!

Lacking a Catchy Title – Also Lacking the Greatest Yarn Ever Made

July 29, 2007 · 4 Comments

It looks like this week has gotten away from me. I can’t blame it on Harry or anything else, really. I have no excuses.

(I just thought of an excuse, actually. I did run a 5K Saturday.

So, I blame the rigorous training program for no blogging.)

I have been knitting, I promise. It’s just that the thing I’ve been spending most of my time on is un-bloggable at this point (but! there are pictures on Ravelry, if you’re interested – it’s the WIP with the “Bday” word in it).

Also, I am getting close to having a pair of Jaywalkers that – breathe your collective sighs of relief – actually fit. Here’s what they look like right now:

Since I have no other progress of note, how about pictures of yarn instead?

This was one of my birthday acquisitions from WEBS, intended to be Sesame. My plan is for it to be my go-to Cardi for the fall and for use in my igloo office. It’s a shame Jaeger yarns are being discontinued, but I am a shameless beneficiary.

I picked this up when Adam had his sale a couple of weeks back – I lurve it, deeply. It’s the Bamboo Grove colorway, which I think will be great for fall socks. The tragedy is that after the sale, Adam then printed his Love and Peace or Else colorway (picture here), and then promptly sold it, and now I am a very, very sad knitter. Those colors – the red, the black – those are UGA colors! And football is almost upon us! I love this yarn like I have loved no other…I MUST HAVE IT!!!!

    Love the Jaywalker socks in that yarn! Way cool!

    Maybe if you begged and pleaded to Adam, there could be more UGA yarn….
    Grovelling never hurts, is my motto.

    Super jealous of the yarn nerd stash addition!

    How’d you do in the 5K? My team did the Chisago Triathlon yesterday. I think I actually managed to swin slower than last time. At least it was more relaxed. :-)

    How is it Jaywalkers look good in every single yarn? They’re so different and yet so gorgeous! I love the way yours is striping.

    Do you mean the blue Dream in Color sock yarn?
