Ah, new projects
...or at least, the promise of them.
One scarf in Scarf Style I've had my eye on since the very beginning has been Fair Isle Jazz. The center is full of cables and bobbles, the ends a funky fair isle, punctuated by pompoms. Last night I just felt like buying some yarn, so I did. I'll be getting these colors of Highland Wool from elann.com.
 Claret
 Victorian Rose
 Deep Blue Sea
 Mesa Teal
 Eggplant
 Harvest Heather
 Oregano
The deep blue sea will be the main color. Now I just hope that Highland Wool is as nice as everyone says and that the colors work as well together in person.
I also placed an order at Knit Picks this morning, but they seem to have no record of it, and I didn't get a confirmation email because I changed my email address to the wrong thing. I did, in fact, order some Merino Style to make something like this:
That is, Laurel, from Jo Sharp Knitting Book One, which I am too cheap to buy.
I can figure it out, and I think it'd be a nice Christmas gift for my sister. (I have no idea why I am so compelled to knit her sweaters every Christmas, aside from the fact that she's a good wee sister. Maybe it's just because she's skinner than me so I can create SMALLER beautiful things for a change.)
Four balls of sock yarn made it into my shopping cart as well - some Sock Garden for socks for the future mom-in-law, and plain ol' orange sock yarn because I want orange socks, because I'm in love with orange lately.
This weekend I am going to indulge in some startitis: casting on for gloves in Mountain Colors Bearfoot in "Thunderhead" and Wrapped in Tradition (from Wrap Style) in Crystal Palace Kid Merino.
