Guys. Look at all that yarn.
Isn't it delicious?!
I picked up all this yarn yesterday at Sewickley Yarns in Sewickley, PA--they are a Quince and Co. flagship store, and I adore Quince and Co yarns, but there are no flagship stores in Ohio--meaning, a place where you can get more than their linen line. I wanted their wool! And it can be hard to color-compare on a website. So, when we made a trip to Pittsburgh for my grandma's 88th birthday, I really wanted to stop here. My parents graciously obliged me, in the middle of a crazy heat wave, and I got to look at and feel lots of squishy wool!
These are destined for three projects: The four skeins on the right are Quince Chickadee for a new Drachenfels shawl, with a light pink yarn. (The colors here are Sage and Frank's Plum)
My first Drachenfels scarf, also made with Quince Chickadee.
The pink skein (chickadee in pomegranate) will be used for my first hat, a day beret.
The other skeins are Quince and Co's Owl, which is wool and alpaca together, and I love it already, even though I haven't knit with it yet. This is for a Kate Cowl, and I chose the Abyssinian (gray), cranberry (red), and steppe (yellow) color ways. The Abyssinian is fabulous in person, hence the reason I was so glad that I could see these yarns! I never would've selected it otherwise.
Kate cowl--abyssinian will be the large gray section, cranberry the green section, and steppe the stripe!
Just looking at all that yarn makes me so happy. :)
I'm planning on doing a TON of knitting today so I'll have finished projects to show you soon!
And also, what I've been reading.....
