A two post day! Wow! Anyways these are pictures of new yarn that I received (finally!) on Saturday. They are Shaefer Yarn Andrea in two different colorways, Althea Gibson and Indira Ghandi. I'm going to make shawls out of both. The are 100% cultivated silk and are quite amazing! Some of my most prized yarn. A big thanks to my mom who bought them for me. I have this compulsion to keep touching them, so I've been carrying them around with me :).
Also on Saturday, I took a fair isle class and made my first "real" fair isle project. (I say real because I attempted fair isle for my christmas stocking.) It went really well. I basically had to learn how to knit continental to use both hands holding the yarn and learning that was a little bumpy but it came out great. I plan on giving the hat to my mom but I'm worried it will be too big. The yarn I used was Malabrigo in mint and pigeon colorways.
