Yarn, Yarn, Lovely Yarn

Oh Friends,


Feast your eyes on the above lovelies,  Aren't they GORGEOUS?  So many of you have recently visited Wandering Cat's Etsy page that I just could not resist.  Now I'm wondering what took me so long.


The yarn on the left in the beautifully named Grenache shade is a blend of Alpaca, Silk and Cashmere.  So soft, so yummy.  I wonder what it will become?  The other two skeins are equally beautiful and are both blends of Merino and Nylon.  They will make wonderful socks and I think they will HAVE to be for moi!!  The middle shade is Varadero and the one on the right is I Wanna Be A Cowboy - lol.  Love the name.


And then, because I DO want to make a scrappy sock yarn blanket and because I have no way knit enough socks to have sufficient sock yarn scraps to make said blanket, I just HAD to order the Cat Nip Fun Pack.  I probably would've ordered it even if I wasn't planning to make a blanket.  How can you resist the name?  Just look at the variety of colors.  I am going to be having so much fun!!!


Hello, my name is Vera and I'm a yarnaholic.  Perhaps an intervention is needed?  No...just need more time to knit!

  2. No intervention needed --- but, if your family does one and you must get rid of all your yarn ..................well, you KNOW my address!!!

    Have fun knitting. Can't WAIT to see your scrappy blanket. I have to say, it is the project I enjoy knitting on the most.

  5. Lovely yarn. I'm second in line behind Dee if an Intervention occurs.

    I've been a Good Girl and kept my vow of Not Buying Yarn for months and months now since I inherited a stash over the summer. My car has finally stopped veering toward my LYS. Took awhile.

  6. I see yarn that I love but never buy it. Without knowing what it may become, I'm always afraid of not having enough. But then again, I also don't know WHEN it would become something!

  7. Oh wow those are some gorgeous yarns! I think even just looking at them would make me happy, whether or not I had any idea about actually knitting something.
