Latest deliveries from two of my favorite sellers on Ebay (Yarnbow & Emtnestr):

Cherry Tree Hill Sock yarn in Old Rose


Lorna's Laces Shepard Sock in Watercolor


Lorna's Laces Worsted in Black Purl

Lorna's Laces Shepard Sock in Vera


I'm ready to start the border on the Tulip Baby Sweater so I hope to post a picture soon.

On my "to do" project list is a pair of legwarmers for my Mom out of Berroco Pleasure. She has Fibromyalgia and I've only been promising them to her for far too long ... With all this new yarn, I'll have more socks in the works as well. I finished the Red Rover colored socks that are to be gifted for the holidays to a certain someone but can't post pictures until they're sent on their way. (I'll post the link for the pattern then also.)

Just so much to knit and my fingers won't go any faster!! I wish I could knit as fast as The Yarn Harlot, she can do a whole sleeve as a swatch in one night, and I get a few ROWS done . Someday I aspire to jam that fast! Boy the things I could get done before I forgot all about them! It'd be FANTASTIC!

Wow! I love all your new yarns (CTH and Lorna's are 2 of my favorites). I knit a pair in the Vera recently (that is such pretty yarn). Can't wait to see what they all become.

Thanks Karen! Have you done a certain pattern with the Vera? I've done them in plain st st, but had seen a pattern on Ravelry called Anastasia I wanted to try. I didn't realize until after it was toe up (which looks way harder to me than it probably is) but I chickend out! haha!
