In my last post I said I was playing hooky by knitting wash cloths. Here are a few that I knit. I didn't get photos of the ones I made for baby presents.
I am still working on the Icarus shawl. It is going slowly, but it is going. I don't have any updated photos.
This past weekend I went to Austin for a wedding. While there, I got to go to
Hill Country Weavers for the first time. I had heard great things about HCW, and I was not disappointed. It's a great store. The colors are fabulous and they have so many different yarns. Here is what I got while there.
I managed to snag 8 balls of Freia fine handpainted yarn. It is a sport weight yarn, all wool and made in the USA. I fell in love with this colorway, Ultraviolet, and picked up all the balls they had. I have no idea what I will make out of this, but I just had to have it.

Boy, that yarn you bought has your name all over it, the colors couldn't be more pefect. The wash clothes, look fun and easy. By the way Janna said she wants to learn how to knit. She also cross stitched the cutest bib for Dillon,Darla said after they showed her the stitches she did it all by herself. She did a great job. Jan
I guess I need to bring some extra yarn and needles to the beach this year.
Mom has so much yarn she isn't using, we could probably use some of that. It is heavier, and might be easier to start with...we've got time to think about it. Jan
That ultraviolet is beautiful! I tried to stop at HCW when I was in Austin last, but somehow we got our stores mixed up, and we ended up at Ginger's instead (Note, NOT a yarn store..). Oh well.
Can't wait to see what you make out of that Ultraviolet though.
I'd have snagged that yarn too - terrific colours!
