Some might say I have an obsession, but I would say I am more of a collector.

I don't think we need to mention the colors not in this photo, culture club, koi and everyone's favorite rosie.  Well I can and will sing the praises of Georgia and her amazing yarn all day. Not only am I in love with the colors and the base yarns, I think she is pretty rad too. So imagine my amazement when this arrived in my mailbox:

misocrafty.. baby! 

 
Can you believe it! It matches perfect! Even the guys in my life thought it was pretty cool I have a yarn color dyed after me, especially my friend who designed my graphics. Again Georgia, thank you, I just love it. The merino tencel is really nice and silky, I am in the process of finding the perfect pattern. I was thinking maybe a scarf or something, but the I am not sure, got any suggestions let me know.

Want some pirate of your own? Try here maybe around 6am (pst) on Wednesday the 15th, there might be some there....

I also have been sewing, working on a little project for a friend. I haven't made on of these scrunchie purses in a long time, but it went together perfect. The outside is a thick black wool and the inside is some fun fabric that yahaira sent me. I almost didn't want to give it up, but I think it might be possible for a girl to have too many purses, oh, wait, no. A girl can never have too many handbags, but this one is off to a good home.

Have a great week!

    The conquest of the earth... is not a pretty thing when you look into it too much. What redeems it is the idea only... not a sentimental pretence but an idea

No wonder I can't ever get any of her yarn. You are hoarding it all :) I love your colorway!

Love the shape of the purse, is it your own pattern??? and what great sock yarn. With the time difference it always seems to sell out before I can get a look in.

The true hobby is the collecting of said items, isn't it? The knitting is optional. My Yarn Pirate stash is growing exponientially too.
Misocrafty is gorgeous, and thanks for the short row tutorial,I needed it!
