New stuff

I’ve slowly been investigating all the yarn shops that are near me in my new digs. There are quite a lot of them! Each one is interesting in it’s own way, but I haven’t been to them all so I don’t have a true favorite yet. If I did, I would have to say it’s the shop i got all this stuff from:
While there isn’t any in this particular batch, the shop also carries spinning stuff; including rovings in some fiber types that I haven’t typically seen in a LYS before. Starting in the upper left of the picture we have:
- Trendsetter yarn, destined to be a scarf. I bought 3 balls
- Noro lightweight (can’t remember the real name of it). Scarf? Or something? I actually got this somewhere else, and it was on sale
- Mountain Colors Mountain Goat. This stuff is soooooooooooo gorgeous and this picture doesn’t do the color justice. I got three skeins, and have no idea what i’m going to make. i was orig thinking a shawl
- Jo Sharp, Knit #2. I’m already making a sweater out of this using stash yarn. More to come in future pics.
I’m doing more knitting these days. The Husband works 2 blocks from me so we carpool every day now. Most days I make him drive the longer stretch so I can knit. As long as it isn’t something hugely detailed and I only need to occasionally glance at the pattern it’s working out well - I’m on sleeve #1 of a sweater for ME!

The Mountain Goat is yummy looking. I can see why you bought it. The other yarns are beautiful too. Gosh, the book looks really famaliar, I think it is in my library. Lots of pretties and good book.
