would i be the one to bring back the tears from your eyes now

After my travels, I have a few photos...of yarn and things made from yarn. The only other photos I managed were some blurry cats and some typical "oh, it's a lake" shots. Didn't manage to take any of the lovely autumn leaves in Ontario, unfortunately.

I did knit a hat though.

Pattern: Sea Urchin Hat
Yarn: Malabrigo Lime Blue
I modded the pattern to work without a doubled up yarn and to fit my gauge.


The bumpy swirls are pretty cool.

I also went shopping in Toronto with [livejournal.com profile] morgandria, and arrived at Romni Wool right as they were pricing some kits from Fleece Artist/Handmaiden.

I'm planning on this to be a nice and lightweight scarf for the fall. Now I just need a pattern, or a stitch pattern, that will work well with a bouclé yarn.


This lovely little kit is for a wavy scarf and uses cashmere and silk yarns.

And surprise surprise, neither of these have sheep wool. Maybe Morg's presence scared off all the sheep yarns. :D

Yarn!

Also upload those "typical lake" pictures! I want to see them :)

Eh, there are from a high vantage point and weird haze in the air. Some far off boats and the trees and such from the top of the point I was at.

Only cashmere, mohair and silk for you. Aw, so horrible. :D
