Good afternoon and morning to all! And happy long weekend if you're in the UK and getting tomorrow off :) Today I'm already feeling quite accomplished since I put a 5 mile training run in the books (my other other hobby), and I'm keen to get into knitting for the rest of the day!
As a reward for my running, I often use yarn (unsurprisingly) and since LottieKnits just had a shop update yesterday with some deadly speckles, I had a little moment over there and picked up two gorgeous skeins. The dreaded cartjacking prevented me from snagging a discounted skein (it had a break), but I managed to get the last regular-priced one. I've actually never been cartjacked before, and if you've never heard of this, it's when you put something into your cart on Etsy and someone else checks out the same item before you can, so when you go to pay, it's gone. I see it A LOT on Tanis Fibre Arts shop updates, probably unsurprisingly because her yarn is ridiculously gorgeous and everyone wants in on that action!
Anywho, in addition to that, I've been loving up grey and speckles lately, and when someone in a Ravelry thread posted a picture of some scrumptious skeins, I had to find out who made them. Turns out, it's The Lemonade Shop, a place out of Colorado that, when I clicked through to their Etsy shop, BLEW MY MIND with their gorgeous colourways!! Guys. It's nutso. Get over there and ogle. Plus, their logo is adorable.
And now for some sort of lunch, and diving back into my current WIP (one of what, eight, now? Whatever, I love choice), a gift project using Lion Brand Homespun. A bit of a tricky one, but so squishy and very care-friendly! Enjoy your Sunday :)
