Random pretties

Have spent part of the morning playing with my yarn stash and my new camera so I can practice with the latter and get the former up to date on Ravelry so I stop deluding myself that I have made stash inroads. There is still plenty of yarn in the stash! Maybe I need to pic a project for each yarn and not let myself buy more until I have made some of them (er apart from NY and Bendigo and, um, the box I'm expecting from Stranded In Oz, any minute now.

But it's nice to have an excuse to fondle one's yarn. I'm picky about how yarn feels, particularly if I'm planning it to be something that will go anywhere near my face/neck where certain wools make me itch, so my stash is just a big bundle of pretty, nice feeling things. Like a rainbow of kittens that don't bite and scratch (or purr...ooh, purring yarn, that would be awesome! Like the living fur in Brothers In Arms.)

Anyway, having loaded all the pics onto my Rav stash, I thought I'd share a few here too. And I swear there are some things in my stash that are not blue, green or blue green. Really. Just not many. Need more pink.

Stranded In Oz Wool/Merino roving in Dark Matter (Am half way through spinning this, so this is what's left) This is from this year's fibre club.



Stranded In Oz Handpainted Wensleydale top in Bottle (ditto re fibre club)



Stranded in Oz Merino sock



Stranded in Oz Alpaca/Wool sock (have to knit something with this soon, so soft and squishy!) (last year's SiOz yarn club)



Knit Picks Shimmer Lace in Shallows



String Theory Caper Sock (with Cashmere! We likey) Bye Bye Blues (gifty from Melissa, I believe)



And now, back to the non yarny world!
