More Yarnography

All of the knitting is done on the Forest Canopy Shawl – I finished it up on Tuesday night.  I had plenty of yarn left over so I probably could have made it bigger with another repeat (or even two) but I wanted to follow my first shawl pattern exactly. 

No pictures yet, though – it still needs blocked.  How about some Yarnography instead?

From Cider Moon, we have two hanks of hand-dyed fingering weight merino:

 

Colorway: Cherry on Top 

 

Colorway: “Postiano”  The site described it as a sort of “mish-mash” colorway that was never the same twice.  On the site, it looked more grey than beige, but I couldn’t be happier with what I got.  I’ve already cast on a project with it.

Also, Yarntini opened her own shop, and I was lucky enough to snag this beauty:

 

This is a horrible picture of a gorgeous yarn.  The colorway, “Gin,” looks gray but upon closer inspection is actually a blend of greys, greens and blues, with darker streaks of blue/greens.  Think Bombay Sapphire - hey, I couldn’t date a guy nicknamed “Mr. Martini” and not know about gin!

You’ve probably also noticed that I’ve changed the look of the site - I figured I’d give you something new to look at since I’ll be out of town all next week on vacation.  The photo albums aren’t working exactly right – I may add those as soon as I figure out the formatting.  In the meantime, let me know if anything looks weird, and I’ll see you in about a week!
