The Knitting Maevan

The Stash

Sock Yarn

Despite the fact that I've never knit socks before, I have a fascination for them. So, through Secret Pal and my own spending, I've accumulated a fair bit of sock yarn. Starting with the back row, left to right:
Lanett Superwash merino, handdyed by my SP7 (2 skeins), scheepjes Invita extra wool and nylon inblack, grey and charcoal (4 balls). Bernat Sox in Hot Tamale (2 balls), Fortissima 6 fack Schoeller Esslinger (2 balls), Patons Kroy Socks in Hip Hop Jacquard (2 balls), Lang yarns Ja Woll superwash (2 balls), Sweet Georgia Handpainted Sock Yarn in River.

Noro

My lovely Kureyon collection in colour 33 and 149, I'm thinking about the Hurry Up Spring armwarmers from SnBN or maybe Lady Eleanor from Scarf Style

Jemima Yarn

A bunch of Elann's Peruvian Collection Sierra Aran in 743 and 788 for Jemima.

Wool

Surrounding cakes are of unknown origin, recieved from a friend after their grandmother passed away. Top to bottom, left to right: Lett-Lopi in a lovely teal and a blue (2 balls of each) for a future felted bag, Lamb's Pride in Sunburst Gold, Spice -maybe a harry potter scarf in the future- and Dynamite Blue (not shown, used in the tube toperini), 3 skeins total. Morehouse merino wool from a Beret kit (1 skein).

Wool and Mixes

Redheart Cozy Wool in Blue and dark grey for Pat's hat, Hot Head from SnB (2 skeins of each). Paton's Classic Wool in Leaf Green and Petal Pink (2 balls of each) for the French Market Bag, Paton's Shetland Chunky in dark blue (2 skeins).

Alpaca and Softness

Top to bottom, left to right: Knit Picks Andean Silk in Lettuce for my VK leaf scarf. Blue Quiviut for a LOtR bookmark, Knit Picks Alpaca Cloud in Autumn for the Elizabeth I scarf from Knit Picks (1 cake), Plymouth Yarns Baby Alpaca D.K. for the Phoebe poncho from IK and more Knit Picks Alpaca Cloud in Sandstone.

More Softness and Mohair

Adrienne Vittadini Teresa (4 balls) NO idea what to do with this... maybe the Honeymoon tank? Picovoli?, Charme Angora/Acrylic (3 balls) (I'm thinking the tiny cabled scarf from SnB), South West Trading Company Phoenix Soy Silk (3 balls) another scarf I think, Sirdar Mohair (2 balls) from the Mary Janes I made Tracy, Berrocco Zen (2 skeins) another scarf

The Cottons

Bernat Handicrafter (1 HUGE ball) originally for Honeymoon, but I think it'll just become towels, Patons Leila in a dusty pink and blue (12 balls in total) no plans yet, Elann Endless Summer Collection (9 balls I think) for Lucky from SnB.

The Acrylics

Top to Bottom, left to right: Pink, green, blue and varigated Phentex (too many balls), the green and pink were for a couple of Lelahs, not so sure anymore. Red Heart Casual Cot'n in "Grand Canyon", a bit left from my pillow UFO, Bernat Satin in Maitai and Flamingo from Tracy's Cheshire Cat Hat, Mystery Brown Yarn from my friend (I have a whole bag of cakes) and I'm thinking a sweater, Patons Canadiana from Jamie and Devin's baby booties, brown Paton's Decor from the Regency Shrug, Varigated Patons Canadiana from Jamie and Devin's Umbilical Cord hat, Caron's Jewel Box in Ruby which was intended for a hat for my sister - though after my many troubles with it in making a hat for my Mum, I'm unsure. It was used to make an eyemask by Lis, Bernat Solo in Checkers used for my mittens, and some Mary Maxim Starlette for a future scarf/hat or mittens (2 balls).

The Novelty, Acrylic and Boucle

A whole lotta boucle gifted from Lis. No intended project though I am thinking about a baby blanket (several balls, white, black, grey, green and purple), Bernat Matrix purchased for a scarf though I hated working with it so much that I gave up (2-3 balls), Paton's Allure gifted from my sister in law with no intended project though I'm considering a ridiculous blanket (7 balls), also I used this stuff for the Soft As Sin scarf.

There you go :) Updated on April 11th 2006
