stashing

It seems I've been yarn shopping lately ... most probably not, but I wonder if I can use all this up until summer ?

Anyway, some beautiful Noro Kureyon (shade 156, I think) for a Klaralund (already started, and progressing well). It's a bit rough when I'm knitting it, but everyone says it will soften up after washing, so let's see ...



And ... well ... I haven't even finished my first pair of socks yet, but there's no way I could resist this: Landscape Fire, by Kaffe Kassett for Regia. What can I say ? The colors are beautiful.



And for more socks: Hummingbird by Artesano (in Pheasant)



This one is hand painted and came from Uruguay ... four skeins of merino bulky in wine red, from handpaintedyarn.com. Planned for a Chérie amour later on, if I don't change my mind



That looked like a mess, didn't it ? But last Sunday during our crafts meeting the girls helped me out, and we used my (new) swifter and yarn winder to turn all that into this:



It looks so much prettier now. I think I'll just leave them on my desk for the time being so I can look at them once in a while ... back later this week with (hopefully) some more finished items
