Yarn!
My friend Kate has a new store, Zeitgeist Yarns, where she's selling hand-dyed sock yarn! Her colorways are beautiful, and the colors are in short stretches so they'll be more variegated than stripey, which is what I prefer. And the coolest thing is, she named a color after me. Anyone who saw my stash picture will recognize the appropriateness of the colors! She also gave me a skein so that I could knit a sample sock for her store - but I get to keep the socks, how could anyone pass up a deal like that? The yarn is a lovely range of soft gray-blues with a tiny hint of green and the occasional splash of purple. I'm making the Embossed Leaves socks from the winter IK, which I fell in love with again after seeing Lene's picture. I think they'll be gorgeous. Kate put up five skeins this morning and more will go up tonight, so check it out and get yourself some new sock yarn!

Oh man. SO PRETTY. I like a nice subtle colorway like that--you can do anything you want with it. (Though I really like what you have planned for it! :-)
That's so cool! And what a beautiful colorway. I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks knitted up.
That sock yarn is beautiful! Love the colors - it will look great with Embossed Leaves.
