NOTE: Thanks to Rav still letting people ADD things to the Ravelympics (Dawn? Anna?), I found out my Purple socks DO qualify under the WIPsWrestling Category. I started them right before the Olympics started and finished them in the allowed time. They COUNT!! Woohoo!!! (Cut off time isn't until the 25th....)

Mission Complete. Many Thanks to everyone who cheered me on to victory. I couldn't have done it without your support. I'm so grateful for all of your friendships and all of the awesome encouragement you sent my way. You guys are the best.

Now I'm going to go collapse. Well, after I go cheer for my fellow Ravellers.
The games continue......

It's all Dawn's Fault :)

that my stash has increased ever so slightly. When she knit her purple socks, I just had to have some purple yarn myself. Why I didn't have any in my stash by now is beyond me, I have just about every other color. I ordered this from a seller on Etsy. It's called The Yo-Yo String & Fluff. The yarn is called "Not Called Amethyst". It feels very soft but it wasn't quite the purple I was after. Actually in real life it looks more brownish purple. Camera's sure do funny things to yarn, my camera picked up more purple too!

I also went to my old stand by- Lorna's Laces Shepard Sock in Purple Club. I really liked the purple colorway that Sundara Yarns has but of course they're one of those sellers whose yarn is "not available" a lot of the time since people rush it like a riot. I guess they can't keep up right now. They were going to post more yarn on the 17th and people crashed their server. I'll probably never see that one so these will have to do.

The bottom one is a colorway called Raspberry that I saw on Ebay when I was getting my Purple Club. I was in the mood for more pink and after I got it remembered I had some Raspberry in my stash already!! I was so excited to see that they actually look like two different colorways though. The bottom is more of a bright pink mixture and the top has darker color variations. Way cool. Pink makes me happy-happy.

See, not so bad. A little yarn makes for much happiness. Now if I could just get my kitty to stop chewing up my Knitpicks Circs I'd be a super happy camper.
