I can't believe how many people have told me to update my blog. Coolbana, Becky, dfifer, you know who you are!

The hurrier I go, the behinder I get. The UPS man brought me 6 boxes of yarn in one day about 2 weeks ago. I haven't found room for all of this yet. And I haven't been able to catch up since that day. The yarn was my shipment from South West Yarn Company that I ordered at TNNA. It includes soy silk and bamboo yarns. I want to knit with each of the 5 different kinds that came in.

I started with "Pure" 100% soy silk. The colors remind me of an Indian sari. The drape is fantastic. But I couldn't get gauge for the summer cardigan I'm making for a class that starts next week. It came up as a great 5 sts/in but I needed a definite 4.5. I would change the calculations if the sweater was just for me, but seeing as how it's a class sample, I didn't feel like I could fudge gauge.

So, next I tried "Phoenix" a soy silk tape yarn in a great multicolor called Imposter. What color do you imagine Imposter to be?? I won't tell so you can leave me a comment with your guess. Anyway, the tape knit to a perfect 4.5, so I'm off and running.

I'm going to try and attach a photo this time. We'll see how it goes. It will be a photo of me in Haiti with the girls from the orphanage there that my church twins with. I hope to see them again in January.

So, Imposter. Hmmmm.
