Future WIP

Yarn Haul from Saturday's trip to HEAVEN....otherwise known as The Knitting Zone and Yarn Expressions.

Exhibit A:
Koigu for socks

Great Adirondack for sock

Noro for scarf (from One Skein Wonder)

Schaefer Ann for Thistle Scarf (pattern from The Knitting Zone)

Koigu for Clapotis (Knitty.com)








Ultra Alpaca for scarf: To be determined later

Jo Sharp for scarf, Possibly Irish Hiking Scarf

Mountain Colors for scarf but only bought one skein so most likely this will be a pair of socks.

















Cascade 220 Tweed for a scarf (Spiral Cable Scarf from Scarf Style)





Carmen sock yarn (gift from Cindy).....I'd had my eye on it in her basket and A.L.M.O.S.T. went back for a skein!!! LOVE the colors!!!!!







Super Wild pencil roving to try my hand and using a drop spindle.
















Paint Box for Herringbone Scarf from Life's A Stitch, you can send an email and receive the pattern for free, check out all the various options posted on her blog.

OMG - did you leave anything in the stores?!?!! Hee! I'm glad I didn't know you were going to The Store That Has Koigu, or I would've blown off everything and come with! I thought you were just going to The Knitting Zone. Maybe next time!

Wow - everything is sooooo beautiful!!! Where to begin?? The Koigu will make such a gorgeous Clapotis and the pencil roving is perfect to use with the drop spindle. I know I don't need to say this, but HAVE FUN!!!
