It's wonderful to see everything (and to want most everything!)
The alpacas—were beautiful..But alpaca is such a warm fiber.. I just don't want that much warmth in clothing. I would I am sure if I lived a bit more to the north.. I go hatless most of the winter, but winter trips to Boston require hats. (and further north, I am sure, I too, would be knitting with alpaca.)
But some colors/fibers reached out and forced me to take them home.
First a fingerless glove and hat set.. (I know they just look like skeins of yarn now, but.. I see fingerlessgloves and a soft lacy hat!)
And some ruby red Linen.--a set of kitchen towels! (I have some black and some white linen to add some decorative details, but the towels will be mostly plain, (textured, but plain) and just a touch of contrast.A bought a silk cap. too--I keep thinking about spinning—maybe with some silk to add to my wool, I will actually spin up some of the roving.
Two HiyaHiya size 00 needles found there way to home too.. I have straight and DPN's 00's, but I didn't have circ's. I don't knit much with 00's –but having a nice set of needles will be an incentive.. I think!
I also finally balled up the Peachy goodness from early this summer—That's a full 9 ounces!--------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, I trudge away on the pink tube socks.. I photographed them last week, with thoughts of posting about them.. and even that is dreary.--
And like all dreary projects, they seem to make no progress at all. They stubbornly remain 10 inches long.. and Really, i knit a few rounds every day!
I'll measure them again tomorrow, and if they have cooperated and gotten longer, I''ll take yet another photo, and post about them.
