dreamy

new yarn

I could resist no longer - I had to find out what all the fuss was about.  Malabrigo, yes, this is some dreamy yarn.  No plans, just stash building, I suppose.    Maybe this will turn into some Christmas gifts.  Maybe.  If I can part with this yummy yarn, that is...

simple knitted bodice

Here's my progress on the simple knitted bodice. So far, so good, though I keep losing/gaining stitches on the lace portion.  It's not bad, I don't even think it's noticeable, not yet anyway (fingers crossed).  I started working on that portion while watching the speeches last night, so I was a little distracted.  Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't rip those stitches out.  Memorable imperfections, indeed :)

Me too! I'm not as strong as you. I had to wind it and knit it Right Now. I made a delectable hat and I'm off to make more.

wow...that is some gorgeous yarn! I'm not a knitter...yet! I don't need another craft supply to have a stash of!

That is no Wal-Mart yarn there, girl. I've had my eyes on it, too. It is obviously well-liked by people on Ravelry if you read the comments. Can't wait to see what you make with it.

yummy yarn, and as for knitting, my thoughts are it is not what you knit but what you knit into it...sometimes I look at my hicups in my knits and smile as I remeber when I made them, a weekend away, on the beach with the babes, in a nice cafe with a good pot of tea...yes they make me smile...so thats a good thing right! (Have I convinced myself do you think)?

you know i love that malabrigo. the blue you chose is gorgeous.

Love this simple knitted bodice and the yarn looks soooo Nice Cant wait to see this when you are done with it!

I can't wait to see what you knit with those yarns. I've heard some many good things about it and it is just gorgeous! I'm trying to resist the urge to buy anymore yarn and my lys is having a 15% sale this week too!

See? I told you so. And look at you go on that bodice! I have got to move beyond flat items!

Imperfections with a huge helping of hope. The best kind.

Oooo! Yes, Malabrigo is the best ever!!! Beautiful color selections!

Still wishing I could knit. Or didn't have tendonitis... This looks yummy.

I started drooling as soon as I saw that first picture. Enjoy!

Love that yarn! It's the best and the colors are fabulous too! Can't wait to see how your project turns out. I'm going to have to break out of my norm here lately and try something new. Looks fun!

Malabrigo is the best! You will love it, so soft and yummy!

It's looking good so far. That yarn does look yummy, and I too have a hard time parting with yarn for a project that I will eventually give away.

this looks beautiful! i have not made a knit without a mistake yet! Oh well. Sometimes it is worth ripping, and sometimes it is not.

love the malabrigo Beki!!

Oh I love the colors of that yarn!

That yarn looks super yummy!

Where's Beki??? :)

Oh its great yearn. Once again, AMAZING stuff you do!

ha! i just bought my first malabrigo last night and started making a philly cowl (free on ravelry) as a christmas gift. it looked quick and simple. i love how soft this yarn is!! i'm a little jealous of the stash you're building : )
