As the summer progresses, that lure of new yarn is calling - but must resist. I went to the LYS to use one of my exceptions - purchasing another skein of hemp to finish a project. They have luscious yarns. I explored for a long time, but just escaped with the one skein and a pattern. It was tough though. I tried to justify, no one will know, I want to make this shawl and I don't have any laceweight - but I was strong.

Has everyone seen what Shelly is doing? She wants everyones sock yarn scraps to work on a modular blanket. I am sure that some people have some extra bits that they want/need to destash.

Oh, I think I will be keeping my sock yarn to make a blanket just like that someday! Right...

What a great idea! I sold a huge bag of sock yarn scraps on Ebay....and now I wish I hadn't! I'm not knitting as many socks right now, but I think I'll start saving the scraps anyway.

Anyone know how to knit like this? What pattern/book etc? I've done cables and lace and a teeny weeny bit of colorwork, but that's it.
