Mostly Yarn Monday
This weekend was all about the right yarn.
Above: Manos del uruguay on big needles for a cowl.
This is very naughty yarn. It is CasBah by handmaiden.
It has a little bit of Cashmere in it...
When I got to Mosaic Yarn Studio 15 minutes before their doors closed on a Sunday,
this yarn was calling my name.
Thank God I had the ladies wind it.
It took them a half an hour due to a snag.
George and Linda worked like a team and wound this beautiful yarn into a behaving skein.
I came home and cast on anew...
I'm knitting a beautiful shawl...
more on that later
This yarn, the Souza, was wound uneventfully by me.
Then I began to knit with it and I realized, this is meant to be socks.
The way to colors seem to want to stripe, it just seems wrong, plain old wrong, to have it become anything but socks....
So it waits...
Finally, Fixie and Sprocket are nursing quietly here.
All of the kittens have been taught by Lucy Lou, to eat and use the litter box. Still, they need to nurse a bit and she obliges them.
Spinner and Bonk, the black kitties, are just as adorable.
All 4 of them have a wind up key. They bounce, literally, bounce around the room hysterically.
Ahh kittens, they are a joy!
What yarn are you knitting with today?
Comments
I can't get enough kitten photos!
Lucy Lou is such a good momma to the little ones. I'm impressed that she taught them to use the litter box. Way to go, Lucy Lou!
I'm currently knitting socks with yarn from Creature Comforts (etsy shop).
Have a wonderful day!
I'm trying to knit a pair of socks, but so far the patterns and the yarn aren't in agreement. :-( The yarn is called Dancing Leprechauns, but seriously, it looks more like Frog In A Blender.
Oh, the kitties...they look so sweet! Lucy Lou sure is a good momma! Is there anything more joyful than watching kitties bounce as they play? That always makes me laugh out loud!
You have me thinking of adopting a soldier. Is the website you shared the correct one? Or is it adopt a us soldier?
Knitting with Chunky Mochi at the moment. A scarf.
I love the color of that Souza. Can't wait to see it knit.
Sweet kitties! Those two look like my Gracie.
The little nursing kitties are precious!
I'm still knitting baby things with KnitPicks Shine. It's just okay but the Berry tart hat is going to be cute!
I love your yarn, too. My current favorite yarn on the needles is Malabrigo worsted. So soft and easy to knit!
Your new yarns are beauties. I love how the yarn "tells" us what it wants to be. Sometimes my yarn does not speak loudly enough and only reveals its desires AFTER I have completed something else with it. I need a yarn whisperer!
