Cobblestone

This yarn has me captivated. The colors are so wonderful--there's a couple more colorways beyond those pictured here. I want a sweater out of this yarn, but what color do I choose? I like them all!

Cobblestone is a new yarn in the Fibra Natura line. 100% superwash merino wool, this yarn is squishy soft. It's a sport weight, 153 yards for $8.99. Come in and check out the colors. We made some fingerless mitts. It would also be great for a hat, a scarf, or a sweater. I'd use this for a baby blanket or garments too. It even smells good!

Alpaca, silk and cat

We have a marvelous new yarn, Adagio from Skacel. This 70% baby alpaca and 30% silk is so soft. It's a dream to knit with and the colors are great too. The silk adds the lovely sheen. Colors are, from left to right, black, light gray/cream, magenta, turquoise, teal, gold/camel, red, coffee. It's fun to think about which two colors would work together in this scarf.

I'm knitting a reversible scarf. On one side it's horizontal stripes, the other is vertical. Very easy and effective with the two teal colors.


100% spoiled cat, Abigail always wants to be in the middle of whatever is going on. On Saturday, while Sandy, Rachel and I sat knitting, she climbed into a basket that is too small for her but she turned and turned until she had corkscrewed herself into it. Of course, we admired her, so the results were worth her effort.
