Classes started back this week for Sir and I, as well as both kids. That means less time for yarn-squishing and knitting. Sadface.
But.
I am interning at the state crime lab and let's face it - that's pretty awesome. Give a little, get a lot!
I did manage to start and finish a hat over the weekend and I think it might take over as my new favorite. KnitPicks Preciosa (in Petal) is so deliciously squishy. The pattern is Antelope, if you are interested in finding it for free on Ravelry.
In the past several weeks, I have been teaching my friend J how to knit and she just purchased her first non-acrylic yarn. She bought me a skein of Preciosa in Tortuga! I'm working slowly (okay, slow for me) with it to make the Drop Stitch Scarf (also free on Ravelry). It's as if this yarn, this colorway, and this pattern were made to be together. I'm incredibly pleased with it so far.
At knitting last night, the wonderful and amazing JP gave me an incredible deal on two skeins of Wollmeise and two skeins of JulieSpins. I can't wait to get this beautiful yarn onto the needles!

Happy knitting all! Until next time :)
