Beauty Shots


The hand painted sock yarn that I took with me to knit a wrap while on vacation.  

The two colors of tweed yarn that I bought at This Is Knit in Dublin.  

The roving and drop spindle from the Handweavers Studio in London.  

Silk top also from Handweavers Studio.  

Eggplant colored wenslydale wool from I Knit in Waterloo.  

Hand painted roving, also from I Knit.  

Silk lace weight (yes it's from Habu, but I never see Habu here in Chicago), also from I Knit.  

Lovely soft merino cashmere blend that I bought at Loop in Islington.  

And lambswool, also from Loop, that I have now seen all over Chicago!  Oh well.  


One of my yarn buying goals was to try for things that I can't get here in the states.

I'm back!

The trip was awesome.  

The wedding was lovely, the reception was tons of fun.  

Getting to go on vacation with lots of our friends was a special treat.  

I bought lots of yarn.  

Getting to spend time with my cousin Laura was awesome, also she taught me how to crochet.  

Josh and I got to see and do so much, photos coming soon.
