. . . a knitter & spinner's journey

I can’t stop with the lace

I am totally addicted! I got paid for teaching at my LYS last night and in true fashion I spent my earnings on more yarn. Now usually I pick up sock yarn or yarn for a particular sweater project, but not last night. I did pick up some Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock Solid in lilac, but all the rest was lace yarn. It seems that my lace yarn stash wants to compete with my sock yarn stash. I must be crazy!

I picked up some Skacel Merino Lace in a light gray, Baruffa Cashwool in a lovely purple, and I couldn’t pass up the Mmmmmmmmalabrigo Lace Weight in a gorgeous colorway called Forest. It just sorta jumped into my arms and begged me to take it home and make it into something fabulous. I’m not sure what it wants to be yet, but I do know that I will enjoy petting it and loving it until it tells me. And maybe I’ll even call it George.

I have to agree …. the Malabrigo just jumps into your arms and begs to go home with you.

It would’ve run behind the car to catch me had I not bought mine. :-)

Congratulations on the laceweight stash!

PS: Your SOTSii is looking beautiful!
