WARNING: post loaded with pics....

Wow, it's been a while since I've been here. I've been really busy with work lately. The girl that is over my department is leaving, and I have been "designated" to take on her responsibilites. Not sure if that's a good thing or not yet. I'll let ya know. :)

Anywhooo....I'm sure you know that The Loopy Ewe just had their one year anniversay on Aug 1. They ran a contest to see who could guess how many skiens of yarn they had in stock that day Would you believe that the correct answer was 7977?!?! Woweee.....just think, wouldn't that be fun to dive into? :) So, CONGRATS to Sherri and the guys over at The Loopy Ewe!!

Having said that, I have gotten new stash in to report about.



I'm sure you all have seen the first installment of the YP Booty Club already. I just haven't had time to post mine, so here it is, again. :)

This yummy stuff came from Mama Blue knitting goods. These are SWM striping yarns. colorways: Jolly Green Violets and Snorkel


These are also from Mama Blue knitting goods. These are SWM semi-solid yarns. colorways: Girl and Apricot


This, of course, is STR. I actually got these from a destash blog. Lucky me! :) These are actually my first skeins of STR. Can you believe it?? colorways: Firebird (exclusive to the sock club) and Titania


These make me drool! Zen String serendipity from Wool Girl. Just delish!! :) colorways: Sedona and Blueberry Pie


This is from Thank Ewe on etsy. Here is a better pic of it before it got reskiened. Is this not just to die for? So warm and cozy. Also SWM sock yarn. colorway: Chestnut


This is what I've gotten in recently. My DH has told me that if I receive any more packages, he's taking them to the trash. HA!! (whatever) I'm working on my Booty Club socks as we speak, but I don't wanna post any pics until I get one finished. I recently decided to try sock knitting with 2 circulars, as opposed to DPNs. So, I ordered a pair from Knit Picks. I'm still trying to decide which I like better. There are pros and cons to both. I'll leave you with this. Trish posted this showing the results of new Inox needles. I had to laugh! Why, you might ask? Because THIS is what happened when I got those new KP circs!! :)

OK, total drool worthy yarn. I think I guessed like 7200 skeins for Sheri's contest.
Yup we have twin fingers! Mine is almost healed but the finger tip is really dry.
