Gratutitous Yarn Picture...

This is the ShiBui yarn in Orchid I purchased at the Sheep and Wool Show, comments demanded I show the yarn *giggle* - nothing too unusual I realize, but I just love the colorway, which is awful reminiscent to that in my "profile pic" jaywalkers - it's not Yarntini mind you, but the texture appeared comparable to Koigu which I thought could be promising.

I have a couple of peeks to share at some Wollmeise - I'm a little embarassed at the Wollmeise hoarding, I'm not even sure I can come up with a rationalization for it all.


Veilchen


Turkis and Karneol


Gewitterhimmel

Today I learned some english translations for Wollmeise colorways from Knitters Uncensored - but first I learned that Wollmeise isn't pronounced wool-mice but wool-miser, just a little english fyi. (um, I also learned the German word and meaning of "Ass Antlers", I nearly choked, doh! You kids are fun...though, I think I needed some of whatever you guys were drinking to keep from blushing and giggling out loud on the path - peeshah! As an aside, in spite of some new interesting german vocabulary - I love listening because I feel like I am eavesdropping on the most natural conversation among friends.)

I'm not sure what a single skein of any of it will be - but I am involved in the Harvest Sock Swap and plan to hook up with a Single Sock Liberation Movement thang - in both groups you knit one sock and send the single sock to your pal with the rest of the yarn and some goodies - I like the idea of maybe taking on a little more interesting sock pattern, and only having to finish one. I just received Yarnissima's most fabulous new Firestarter pattern to try - I love that she quoted the Prodigy song, Firestarter, naturally, at the beginning...confession...I bought their CD back in the day. And I have three other sock patterns from My Fashionable Life, the Giotto (incredibly cool cuff), the Badcaul (funky paired cables) and the Nautilus. OMG, and there are so many other countless patterns that I could commit to for one sock. I'd like to say I can surely part with some Wollmeise for a sockswap, but what are the chances? Okay, I'm ready - bring on the socks.

What I should do is send my one Pomatomus to my pal and ask my partner to finish the other one...perhaps a future swap?


another goodie from the Sheep and Wool show - such a precious psalm, such precious sheep. (hardly appropriate to include this in the same post as "ass antlers", eh?)
