Look what arrived in the post yesterday! Lovely yarn from the HipKnits sale. The purple stuff is banana yarn. It's a bit like silk, but heavier and scrunchier. I love the shine on it. I think this might end up being a small bag. The pink is laceweight silk. I've never had any proper laceweight to play with before! I think there's 2000m in that skein. I'll have to think what to make. Probably a shawl, something butterfly-ish. Any suggestions?
Hmm, it's pretty obvious today what my favourite colours are. This is the beginning of another Clapotis in Scrumptious from Fyberspates. Love this yarn! It's a wool/silk blend and really lives up to its name. It's squishy and soft with just enough springiness for the sculptural qualities of the pattern to come out. I've just started the straight sections on this, so it'll be a while. But I want to finish it while it's still cold enough to need it, so I'd better get cracking.

purpley pinky goodness just what is needed during the drab weather! I just received my Fyberspates sock club yarn and thats all pinky and purpley!
Lovely yarn! I look forward to seeing what the banana yarn is like when knitted up and hearing your thoughts on working with it.
We brought home some more laceweight stuff from Grandma's which we'll have to get to you at some point.
Ooh, thanks Debs.
