true love

These are pics of a toddler knee sock

i just finished knitting with the exciting new Merino Superwash yarn from Crystal Palace called "Mini-Mochi". It will officially be released & available about Jan '09... This is the colorway "intense

rainbow"

Other colors can be seen HERE: mini-mochi color cards

This is one of those yarns that makes you want to knit forever instead of eating or sleeping!
it was sooo hard to stop knitting!

this yarn is for me, better than chocolate! so soft.

i'm using #1.5 us needles,

and getting about 8.5 spi [34 st/10 cm]

I am now starting another with Autumn Rainbow, color #107:

this is lovely, if i do say so myself! new colorway of Puffin - called pink print- gorgeous colors!! and it is the most amazingly soft yarn - so nice for babies! the big ruffle will provide shade for the wee one's face in the sun... the cables add texture and fun.
am going to do a boys version with rib and no ruffle.
you can see the puffin colors HERE- puffin colors

the pattern will be posted for free at this link free Puffin patterns shortly - where you can find other pretty free patterns too.... the fringed slippers are really trendy now!

great recipes and photos on this blog too!
yum. gotta make the plum kuchen, my dh is bavarian and his mother made it!

how long can you hold your breath?

why do i ask? b/c this spectacular new yarn won't be available until Jan-Feb '09!
and it's even better to see, touch, and knit with!!
seeing is better than not seeing, touching is better than seeing, knitting is better than touching, and more knitting is best of all! [i've asked santa to set aside 2 of every color for me! and then a couple more for hat and scarf for my dh!]

these are pics of yarn balls and swatches for a wonderful new Crystal Palace yarn called Mini-Mochi. it's super soft merino and superwash !too!
frankly, my dear.... i've knit a couple of models with it, and the softness is only excelled by the
sheer "one more row - can't stop knitting" beauty!!

First, the famous Mochi, who is a "scottish fold"... amazing eyes!
