My new fave (besides knitpicks, of course!) is South West Trading Company's soysilk yarn

After I finish my Dulaan scarf ensemble I will do my clapotis in my new SWTC Karaoke yarn...now, this is some

YUMMY yarn!!!

What's your favorite source for that stuff, Becca? Does it come in black? Does it have a nice drape to it? Im thinking about Knitty's COZY...

KK, I really want to do Cozy, too! I had thought about the alpaca/silk from Knitpicks. Do you think it needs a yarn with some definition? Let me know what you decide to use, please.

I actually have the yarn lined up for three more projects after I finish this baby kimono, but I've been working on this one for about five weeks now (the first one took me five days :rollseyes: ). However, I keep thinking and thinking about COZY, so it may get bumped to the top of the list.

I was thinking about Knitpicks' Elegance...I like the SHEEN it has. The Andean Silk has some of that, too, but I think the Elegance is just a tad yummier.

The reason Im also considering the Soysilk is because (1) Rebecca loves it so much and has me interested, and (B) I knit Traveling Vines in Berroco's denimsilk and I liked the HEFT of it for a wrap.

I'm going to go over to the LYS and plant myself in their easy chair for a bit. I'm going to check out her soysilk. She handed me some last night, I think. More SEx? You bet! No more classes today, I'm going to take an hour off before I clean the house.

Co-signing....

I drove over to my LYS (the real one, not the craft store) and actually felt some of the natural fibers... ***biting my fist***

I'm knitting with crap, dude.

I'm finishing my projects and not starting another with anything but yummy yarn.

It's a slippery slope, my friend, a very slippery slope!! Glad to see we'll be seeing you down here at the bottom in our piles of wool and alpaca! :rofling:

Its amazing how great that stuff feels isn't it? I am dying to finish the poncho that I am working on so that I can get to work with my new yummy yarn!

I am also trying to figure out how to talk my hubby into buying some wool so that I can make a booga bag and then its on to Clogs!

*sigh*

Now I'm really in trouble. I have a shopping bag at knithappens with 5 (6?) balls of Blue Sky Bulky Hand Dye (half the size and weight of the ones I get now. for 2 bucks..so I need more of it) in Peace Pink that are 14.50 or so a ball.

I need not another thing to spend money obsessively on...I promise you. I already have a conditioner, candle, incense/holder, and essential oil fetish that requires plenty of funding.

At least I get something I can KEEP out of this tho. Cept the expensive yarn is for a dear, dear friend - who while she is very dear, is still not me. *whine*...

Well, I guess I get to keep her, wearing the yarn... :thinking:

Oh dear. I'm still typing aren't I?
