First we have the finished first clue of the Halloween Mystery shawl aka Dracula's Bride.
And some close ups.
And here is the Knit Picks Gossamer that I got in the mail the other day.
And here finally is the Purewool that I got a couple weeks ago.
First up the colorway called Nuts. What I ordered is on the right. What I got is on the left.

I am not happy with the color variance at all. I've got a dye kit coming and I do believe I'll overdye it with some brown and see what I get.
And now for the goodies from Huacaya Moon.
The two books I picked up.
Here is the spindle that I picked up awhile ago. I haven't sat and played with it again yet. The roving is much more red than it looks here.
And here is the yarn I got for scarves for the family.
Just your basic Red Heart Symphony.
The pattern I'm using is super easy. Cast on a multiple of 4 + 1. Every row is *Knit 3, Purl 1* to the last stitch, Knit 1. You end up with a really nice wide rib. You get a garter ridge, knit ridge, garter ridge, purl ridge pattern across.And here are my just because prizes from the Secret of the stole.
There was also a 10% discount card from One Planet Yarn & Fiber. I can't wait to pick something out.
Ok now I really must stop trying to type. I've had a bit to drink tonight and omg my face is getting fuzzy feeling. hehehe *Drunk blogger alert!!* lol

I have that bee tape measure, too. Isn't it the cutest?
Speaking of hooch, there's a yarn shop in MN with a cafe that serves wine. I have enough trouble keeping track of where I"m at in a pattern sober. I think a little buzz might yield a third arm on a sweater! lol
