While in St. Louis, I hauled around a couple of skeins of yarn.
First, was a skein of I Love This Cotton. I do like the yarn... it feels lovely. But I am not amused by the lack of contiguous yards. This picture shows a sort of mini-skein that came out of my skein as I sought the center ...
I hate joining ends in cotton. And here is one that I oughtn't have had to join. Grr.
Here's the swatch I knit. Though you can't see it well, there's a lace pattern in there, and Bookworm says she wants for her shrug.
I also hauled around some Caron Country. Kitty chose that yarn for a hoodie she wants me to knit.
This one won't be very exciting until I get to the intarsia bit she wants in the back. This yarn has posed a challenge. They didn't have enough yarn in one dye lot at the store. I bought 5 in one dye lot, and two in another. Ravelry may have come through for me... I found someone there who has 2 skeins in MY dye lot ... She's checking to confirm that she actually STILL has it. If not, I'll either work the odd ones into the hood, or ribbing or something. Fingers crossed.....
