Recent Sex

Lest you recoil in horror, I'm referring to S.E.X., which in yarn parlance is short for Stash Enhancement Expedition (i.e. buying more yarn). On Friday we lucked into a half day and Pam and I hoofed it all the way up into old downtown Carmel to Stitches n' Scones. Some decent damage to the debit card later and I'm now the proud owner of:

• Four skeins Plymouth Linen Isle in color 7503 228295 (the poetic craft employed by Plymouth for its color names is clearly unrivaled)
• Four skeins Plymouth Linen Isle in color 7471 195690
• Two skeins Blue Sky Alpacas color 627 (note that I wasted no time in dipping into this yarn, I only photographed the front of the sweater, the back is already done)
• One skein each Blue Sky Alpaca in some green color and some yellow color (don't feel like walking across the living room to read the label)

• One skein Lamb's Pride Worsted in Brown Heather
• One skein Lamb's Pride Worsted in Old Sage
• One skein Knit One, Crochet Too Paint Box in a variegated green-dark purple colorway
• One super-soft skein of Inca Alpaca color 1108
• One skein Rowan All Seasons Cotton color 191

Best part? There's another sale next Friday at Mass Ave Knit Shop, and I fully intend to go.
