I finished the sock that I started on my trip to MS&W. Took me long enough. Especially since it's on size 2's! Not even tiny needles. I was under pressure to finish this sock (and hopefully the second one) because look what has been arriving in the mail. . .
On top is the elusive Trekking XXL in colorway 100. (Maybe not so elusive. I emailed theknitter.com and although it was out of stock, they emailed me as soon as more arrived. Great customer service!) This is such happy yarn that I want to start knittng these socks right away! I've used Trekking for a pair of socks for Pete, and I really liked the yarn.
Down on the left is Regia Jubilee in colorway 5472. I love pink and brown together, so I had to have this sock yarn. I've made several pairs of socks with Regia and love them all. (Here's my favorite pair.)
And last , but not least, is the Opal Element in colorway 1073. It's got both yellow and purple mixed in -- subtle. I have another pair of Opal's on the needles, but they are lingering. Too many projects have come up since I started them.
The plan -- finish at least one pair of socks (I have three on the needles) before starting any of these three new ones (which I *so* want to start!)
A PLEA!!! Please help me! I'm working on my latest bag design and ran out of yarn. My LYS is out and I think the color may be discontinued. It's Noro Kureyon in colorway 130 and I only need one ball. I'll do a trade or pay you via PayPal. Please! If you have it, I really need it right away! Here's the color. It's the three in front. Thanks!!
UPDATE! Thanks Caryn for finding the Kureyon in your stash! You have saved me from pulling out my hair :)
I'm sorry, I don't have any Noro or I'd send it to you straight away. Your sock is lovely and I love your new yarn - yummy.

Did you ever find someone to trade with you? If not, I have some 130!

Hi Jen - I have some ideas for some new yarns to try with your bags. I saw some cool ones at the TNNA show. I'll call you - I need more patterns too.

Love the colors in the sock you finished. Was that the Irving Park colorway in Lorna's Laces? Or am I just crazy? We have similar tastes, as I have the same Trekking Sock yarn in that colorway!

What's the number on the Kureyon above the 130? It's gorgeous.
