Sabbatical

Ah, yes. I’ve been taking a little breather from the knitting (and blogging) life for a while. But it’s been rejuvinating, and lately I’ve caught myself eyeing the yarn again. I’m sure it won’t be too long before I’ll actually have some finished projects to show off. Or at least some new ones started, ha ha ha ha ha! Sorry, got a little hysterical there. Anyway, I also got a new computer. Since I haven’t owned a desktop for years, I forgot how nice it is to use a big screen and regular keyboard. It sure beats the bad posture and neck strain I had sitting with a computer literally on my lap for hours on end.

So here’s a mini addition to my stash. As always, I don’t really buy yarn without at least an idea of what I want to do with it. My plans for this lovely yarn are a *little* nebulous, granted, but I think the finished product will be fabulous. I think. I mentioned in a previous post that I was going to show you my favorite kind of yarn, and this is it. Tweed. I love all kinds of tweed. That’s not exactly revolutionary, I realize, but anyway there it is. One day soon I will be buying some tweed yarn for the 1930’s coat I pictured here once upon a time.

But clearly I’m getting ahead of myself. First I gotta, you know, finish something I’ve already started.

Lovely colors, what will you use it for? Jeanette’s on ebay is selling lots of Rowan Yorkshire Tweed right now, most of it with free shipping, maybe you could stock up for that gorgeous coat. I’m actually not a big fan of the dk YT (it felt very stringy and knit up unevenly), but a lot of bloggers really love it.
