Well, thanks to Claire, I can officially say that I have a new obsession and my cup runeth over. Actually, my obsession is your gain as my cup runeth too far over. I will be bringing these to the guild meeting Wed night. Here is just a little taste of the excesses of my riches.

And, perhaps more. You all will have to wait and see.

I haven’t had the posting Mojo lately. I think I have been spending too much time on Ravelry.
I did cast on for a pair of socks though. These are being knit out of that new fangled merino/cashmere/nylon blend that all the kids are raving about these days.
Squoosh MCN Sock in Dahlia
You can’t tell that these are Sunshine from the new Cookie A. book, but soon enough, it will become easier to recognize.
I know that we had agreed, as per the vote, that I would knit these out of the Alchemy sock that you all helped to choose. But, really, I tried and just couldn’t get gauge. The yarn was too fine. So, here we are with the Squoosh.
And, I am all but finished the Shroomin’ Sweater.
Cozy Malabrigo, oh how I love thee
Although you can’t tell from this pic, I only have the sleeves to do and this is one finished sweater. Winter, I am ready!
