Delightfully Yummy Yarn

So, I have some new yarn. My yarn stash is pretty small. It all fits in one Rubbermaid Tote. I know, I know....that's like the ultimate sin for a knitter. In all honesty, I can't have a huge yarn stash because I have a huge scrapbooking stash. I'm rather certain my dh would kill me if my yarn stash was as big as my scrapping stash. That being said, I needed some new yarn. I'm totally over this deployment, ready for my dh to come home. He's only been back from R&R for just about a month, and it already seems like he's been gone forever. So, some new yarn was just the thing I needed to make me feel better. :-) I've been trying to catch a sneak up at TLE for months now. Sheri carries some awesome yarn over there. BUT, it's nearly impossible to get the good stuff. I've been lusting after some Wollmeise for quite some time now, but can never catch it in stock. Becca was fortunate enough to catch a skein of it before it sold out. Me? Not so much. I did get to fondle her skein though, the colors are absolutely fabulous. I can't wait until I can finally get some. Me? I got this. The colorway I got isn't listed anymore. I would share a picture, but it's a dreary day outside, and I'm having a hard time capturing a picture in the true color. So, maybe I'll share that another time. What I am most excited about though, is this....

It's Yarn Nerd 1500 MHz Merino in the Mustard Wine colorway. That picture isn't real true to color, it's a bit more of a wine color, and I love it. It's been sitting on my computer desk for a couple of days. I keep reaching over to fondle it. It's very yummy. Apparently the 1500MHz if hard for him to keep in-stock. I'm not even sure if he'll be able to carry it anymore. What I really want, is his Tour de France colorway. He's hoping to be able to take custom orders at the end of February. TLE is keeping him pretty busy right now.

I'm almost finished with that particular project I'm working on. Actually, it MUST be done by Saturday. I have one sleeve left, and a little bit of applied i-cord. Friday is park day, even though we're not meeting at the park. So, I may have a finished pair of socks to show pretty soon too. I've been scrapping a lot this month. I've done about 30 pages since the beginning of the year, which is a record for me. :-) For those of you who scrap, I'll share one of my most favorite pages.....
