I’ve been working hard on a couple UFOs, and good thing because there have been several yarn acquisitions in the past few weeks.
First up, a couple purchases I made at Vogue Knitting Live yesterday.
Dragonfly Fibers Pixie in the Save the Ta-Tas colorway. I swore I would get any more pink/purple/red yarn but I could NOT resist this skein. I’m thinking some kind of garter stitch shawl so I can see all the gorgeous shades mixed together.
Next, Madtosh Pashmina in the Midnight in Manhattan colorway. I got 2 skeins (720 yards) because I want to be able to made a big, cushy cowl. Maybe cables? And if I have leftover I’ll do a pair of mitts.

Desert Vista Dye Works sock yarn in the Summer Berries colorway. Self-striping! A giftie from the lovely Andi. Thank you, dear, for feeding my self-striping addiction.
And finally, another self-striping sock yarn – this one a Christmas gift from Paul in the Wild and Crazy colorway by Ladybug Fiber. Because, yes – he too knows my obsession with the self-striping.
I’m a lucky girl.
And now, I really need to get one (or even two) WIPs off the needles because I’m itching to cast on all of these beauties.
Have an awesome Sunday. Happy Knitting!

Lucky girl indeed! I like the first one the best because both the texture and the color is gorgeous. It is so great that you support indie dyers!
