This was going to be a post about stash busting and how good I had been at not buying yarn lately. Ahem. Until after a stressful week at work it seemed like some retail therapy was really the only cure. That and a visit to Loop on Wednesday which I knew would be dangerous but went anyway.
I was in the market for some kind of blue yarn for the shawl I am making. First I picked out the beautiful Madelinetosh Sock yarn in Baltic. Then Pauline pointed out that this gorgeous Wagtail Kid Mohair in Charcoal (but which I think is really more blue) is from Childers in Queensland so I couldn't resist it. But by that stage I had been carrying around the Tosh Sock for awhile was getting attached to it so both it was. And the the orange Tosh Sock....well you know how it is.....(maybe).
I've started swatching the Wagtail in preparation for the Ravelympics (Ravelry link) which kicks off in conjunction with the Winter Olympics (I so hope they get some snow v. soon poor things) which is 2am Saturday morning London time. Its my own design so there will be a bit of fiddling around but hopefully I can plan it out and avoid too much ripping back.
