just because i can't knit ...

Not knitting just shouldn't mean that I don't blog.

I mean, I do many knitting-relating things that aren't actually knitting. I've been known to buy yarn (though I'm cut off until I can knit again, which is reasonable), trade yarn, read knitting books, and even go and *gasp* watch others knit. Oh, and read everyone's knitblogs too.

Let's look at these things in more detail, one at a time.

1) Buying yarn. Ok, I can't take pictures, because it is absurd. Absurd! But I bought more Patons Kroy on sale from Herrschnerr's. I'm feeling sort of like Lynette with the Cotton-Ease. I have now purchased something like 28 balls and C even got me more sock yarn (Regia) as a graduation present. It's all meant for colorwork. That's the plan. Anyway, there's a lot. And I love it all, so it's fine. And it's on sale again, but somehow I'm having no trouble resisting this time. Go to it, folks.

Also, I bought some Cotton Glace from GirlReaction's stash sale. I have a pic of something like it ... 4 ply cotton in a similar color below.

2) Trading yarn. Stash Swap at our meet-up that C mentioned. Here's what I got:

1 skein Lamb's Pride in a light blue
2 skeins microspun in periwinkle
9 little balls of crochet cotton for doilies (woot!)
3 skeins of Wildfoote, 1 skein each of red, green, and blue
1 skein of Swizzle sock yarn (But that was from C, does that count?)
4 skeins of this Cotton Fleece

2 skeins of Rowan 4-ply cotton. The cotton glace I talked about above is in a similar color to the blue.

Ok, must stop typing. It hurts my wrist. I'll continue later.
