On the Needles - 9/19/14

Just popping in quickly to show my progress on the Diagonal Cowl and a few of the goodies I picked up last weekend :)

This Cowl is a really easy knit & is progressing right along!  

This gorgeous purple will be the last color to add after the teal, and then I'll join the ends by attaching them to the provisional stitches at the beginning, so it will be one continuous loop.  I'm thinking the purple is going to be gorgeous next to the steel gray :)

I have to confess that I did buy a skein of sock yarn at Haus of Yarn.... what a wonderful yarn shop!!!  They have so much to see - three rooms full!!!!  

Isn't this yarn lovely?  

Such gorgeous BLUES!!!

I bought it to make these Fruit Stripe Gum socks - it takes a certain type of yarn to get the best striping effect.  The pattern designer was actually at the shop that day, and she told me they had worked with a company to have this yarn specially made for these socks.  I'm thinking maybe even I can't go wrong with yarn especially made for the pattern, right?  =^..^=

I also picked up this darling little stitch marker.....

Right?

It's almost too cute to USE!!!!

Gotta run - so much to do to get ready for Runaway Retreat next week!!!

Don't forget to check out all the wonderful knitting going on

over at Judy's Patchwork Times today!!!

Hugs & Blessings!
