In fact, I'm at number 5... 5! Wow.
Which gave me a bit of a kick up the backside to actually post something, can't really justify it otherwise! So here I am *smiles* I'm glad, because I have missed this, and also a little apprehensive - it's been a few months since I last posted and I'm a bit rusty.
I have actually crafted loads since I last posted, and need to have a mammoth "taking pictures of FOs, new yarn and WIPs" session (you know me, I hate posting without pictures). Which, if I'm completely honest, has been putting me off blogging... I stopped posting when I had nothing to write about, but now I have so much to write about I'm completely overwhelmed.
Gotta start somewhere though!
So, here's a bunch of pictures of yarn. Obviously in the months since I last posted, I have purchased yarn. What sort of knitting blog would this be if I hadn't? *laughs*
MadelineTosh in the most amazing orange (of course) I can't wait to use this, but I can't use it until the perfect pattern appears to me.
Countess Ablaze - I actually have a whole post's worth to say about this, but for now just look at how pretty it is ;)
Discontinued yarn I was sent as a random act of kindness. So squishy, just how I like it :)
Slightly fuzzy, sort of red, destined to be a scarf or shawl for a bit of winter colour
Debbie Bliss Andes - alpaca and silk (my favourite combination). I wouldn't normally buy it, it's a bit pricey, but I had a gift voucher and it was reduced. Who could say no to that?!
Bizarrely purple chunky acrylic. Not quite sure why I bought it, cunning boyfriend is not a fan of the colour, but it's turning into a reasonable blanket, so I'm calling it a win ;)
To be honest, that's probably the tip of the iceberg for new yarn, I have at least 4 other skeins that I haven't taken pictures of, but I think it's good for now *laughs*
Anyway, no promises on when I'll next post, but as I have a case of start-itis at the moment maybe I'll be more inclined ;)
Wow! That Countess Ablaze yarn is so bright. I'd love to see something finished with that.
ReplyDeleteI have some Countess Ablaze yarn I am unreasonably in love with, I'm feeling very tempted to go check out her shop again right now after seeing yours!
ReplyDeleteI may be liking your skein of Madelinetosh.....and it's orange. What is wrong with me? I don't even like orange! I do, however, love Madelinetosh....
ReplyDeleteOoooooh congrats! and thank you for the link, its great discovering new blogs! You have loads of lovely new yarn *drool*
ReplyDeleteI've missed your posts. It's been a busy year. I only post once a week now and a lot of my favorite blogs have been silent for months.
ReplyDeleteThat orange is gorgeous, I do love orange yarn
