Manos me!
So going through my stash the other day I find a bunch of Manos leftover yarn in such amazing pretty colors. I stuck them all in a beret I made (one of my first knitting projects, *sniff, sniff*) so I can just look at them together and gather inspiration.
What to make, what to make? It’s Manos so none machine washable which is a no can do for a sweater (sans shrug) and not sure about socks.. The purple Manos sock didn’t come out that great (Actually I’m thinking of frogging them) so I’m really at a loss of what to do.
Maybe if I stare at them long enough in their pretty little beret I shall become inspired and create something AMAZING! Hey, one can dream.
Yarn procrastination
In other news, I’m been procrastinating buying some new yarn that I’ve been drooling over at The Three Irish Girls site. First of all, I love the name 
, and second of all it’s all hand dyed and sooo absolutely pretty. There’s a beautiful bubblegum and tan color called “Maureen” that I think would be fantastic for Hayley’s Baby Sweater. But I keep coming back to do I want to pay $40 bucks of yarn right now right before Stitches? I know crazy huh? Who debates over buying yarn? But I’m sure I’ll be seeing this and more at Stitches so I’m really on the fence over this. I guess I would wait. It’s not like I don’t have enough projects to keep me going!
Poaching!
Last I wanted to hit on the Leyburn Sock pattern that I totally poached off of Pinfish
on Ravelry. >:) Yes, I poach and am proud of it!
Happy feet will be my yarn as I work through my stash. I think it’s perfect for it!
I really love the fall colors in this yarn and since the pattern is kind of “leafy” I think it’ll be perfect. Just can’t decide who they’ll be for though at this point, I’m kinda of leaning toward – ME!
