Sock it to me

Well, my socks are coming along. They just about come up to the balls of my feet, and everything! And now I know why so many people in the knitting community have been raving about Koigu. Nice yarn and what beautiful colors! It didn't photograph as well as I'd like--there's more green and yellow in the real thing . . . it's like the photo picked up all the subtle colors and left the primary ones alone.

And, today, my order from Allegro Yarns came--my Fiddlesticks Yarn Peacock Feathers shawl pattern, and a lovely green yarn in the color, "Peacock." (Honest!) Given the choice, though, I think I'm going to try the Knit Picks yarn I got last week--I like the blue/green/turquoise thing for a peacock feather shawl. I think I'll save the green (which is really pretty, mind you!) for something else.

Okay . . . want to get some spinning done before bedtime...!

I am working on the flower basket shawl with that same yarn (same color) from allegro yarns as well. And while I haven't tried the knit picks yarn I can't tell you how pleased I am with the fabric I'm getting from the zephyr. It really has a nice drape and yet is still light enough to be a lace yarn. I'm not saying reconsider - just a quicky review from someone using the same yarn. Good luck.
