Future Project Plans

Today we will not have a work in progress post as I am still working on the same two projects from last week and I did not want to repeat myself. So instead today is going to be "Future Project Plans" day. Aside from the projects that I have in progress I have three projects that I want to get done before the end of the year. One of them is the Pair-a-normal socks I spoke of here.

The other two projects that I want to work on are as follows.

Jeweled Cowl by knitimo

 The yarn I have planned for this is this pretty yellow lace yarn:
Space Cadet Creations Luna Lace Weight Yarn in the color Honey
The only thing I am missing is the beads. I was looking in my bead stash but I do not have what I am looking for. I want to add multi-colored beads to my cowl similar to what the designer did with her cowl above.

The other project I have in my sights, which I know just about everyone is familiar with is Citron by Hilary Smith Callis

I love how this shawl looks in green so I bought this pretty green lace weight yarn for the project:
MissBabs Yasmin Lace Weight Yarn Merino & Silk in the color Ghoulish
I think with the random projects that I have in different levels of completion, plus the three projects I mentioned above will keep me busy through the end of the year if not into the New Year. If only I can add some more hours in the day for knitting.

What future projects do you have lined up?

Until next time, happy Knitting!

New Yarn!!

As much as I say that I will not buy new Yarn when I enter a Yarn Shop, I always some how find a way to come out with at least one skein. These are some of the recent additions to my Yarn stash:

This Yarn I purchased at Nature's Yarn:

This yarn is a very pretty bronze color with shimmer. I tried to capture the color but failed


I will be making a very pretty scarf from the Louisa Harding Queen of Hearts Pattern Book with this Yarn.

This Yarn I purchased at Fibre Space:

Black, White and Gray self striping yarn.


I will be making myself socks with this yarn.

Last but not least, here is the Yarn I purchased from WEBS for my Kate Spades Bardot Sweater:

Soft and squishy!

Have you added new Yarn to your stash? Let's see it! Let me know in the comments below.

Until next time, Happy Knitting!
