...but then i got distracted on tuesday with a trip up to St Andrews to meet some wonderful friends who i haven't seen in a wee while. although i did manage to salvage the day by finding a great little yarn shop tucked away down an alley (it wasn't a dark alley as it was bright sunny, scottish, summers day ~ try saying that in a hurry!)...
...anyhoo, my stash is now boasting a lovely lambswool and cashmere blend from this scottish company, who have only recently began producing yarns rather than just fabrics. these two colours were my favourites ~ Juno and Lissa ~ there was also a gorgeous silvery grey but that will have to wait till my next trip... *sigh*
...then on wednesday i was a good girl again and put together some tags for the previously mentioned granny cushions, i also snapped some sneaky peek pics of a few of the things i've been working on lately ~ actually i got tons of pics but most of them were rubbish due to the dreary, rainy day light :(
...and yesterday (that is thursday) i had intended to tweak those dreary pics and write a wee blog post, but i got sucked in by ravelry and flickr and the need to show off my new yarns to the world...
...anyway, there i was drooling over all the knitting, crochet and yummy yarn groups on flickr when it suddenly dawned on me that there weren't any dedicated to solid coloured yarns, my favourites... *collective gasp* ...well, what was a girl to do but start a new group?
...introducing ~ ■ knit ■ solid ■ yarn ■...
...so if like me you're a sucker for deep rich reds, mysterious charcoal greys, soft silvery blues or even hot sunny yellows and fresh grassy greens, then pop over and share your yummy pics :)
...and today? well today i blogged about it all, not that it was very much at all really ;)
...
...anyway i shall be back soon with some teaser pics to prove that some creativity has been happening, then i may be able to justify the awards some lovely ladies have been gracious enough to give me recently...
