I hate to come off as obsessive, but ...

I'm a little worried that my absolute love of my Rooster Rock Sheep 2 Shoe yarn which has somehow morphed into a love of the Sheep 2 Shoe kit in general is going to start looking a tad ... well, crazy.

Oh well. Pretend it's understandable when you look at these:

Toe up Rooster Rock sock

Handspun sock yarn knitted

Progress on the Sheep 2 Shoe kit for Cookie (It's in the Lucy colorway, by the way, which just happens to match our blog colors pretty well):

Singles Sheep 2 Shoe Lucy

Ok, and I don't think I admitted to this purchase before:

Sheep 2 Shoe Carbon

Sheep 2 Shoe kit in Carbon from Purlescence Yarns.

Understandable. Oh, so understandable.

Also, beautiful. Way to go!

I so get it. I love how the colors are flowing one to another. Really awesome!

Gorgeous! God I wish I was spinning again. My woolee winder is still in time out though.

By the way - guess where I'm going in February? If you guess Palo Alto and the San Jose area you guessed correctly. Do you know anybody I might want to visit while I'm out there? Huh? Anybody? Also - where are good places to visit - seriously - in a tourist capacity? Thanks!

Oh my. Those are beautiful. There's nothing wrong with loving the Sheep to Shoe if it's that amazing. :)

The Rooster Rock is magnificent! Nothing wrong with being head over heels with that stuff! I love the Lucy colourway too.

Oh wow, that is knitting up beautifully!

All gorgeous color combos!

That is FINE! (as in just impeccably good)

Who cares what other people think. It's your damn hobby! ;-)

Totally understandable

Oh man, I want to roll around in that stuff. I still haven't started mine yet. I'm enjoying the anticipation too much.

I think I need to come all the way to CA for one of those. I've been practically salivating over them. Okay, so I can't spin...yet. But I will! I taught myself to knit because I wanted a specific hat, I can learn to spin just for this kit. :D

Don't say obsessed. Say enamoured. It sounds much nicer, don't you think?

Posted by: carol at January 4, 2007 8:59 AM

Sigh...if only I could get ahold of one of those kits! Beautiful work! ;)

Posted by: CJ at January 4, 2007 10:57 AM

Very pretty! I bet this is one of those projects that's going to make you smile every time you pick it up, wear it, or just think about it. They look wonderful.

Posted by: Janice at January 4, 2007 11:03 AM

Wow. Maybe I need one too. Or maybe I could dye my own...

Posted by: Gryphon at January 4, 2007 12:30 PM

No need to pretend! They rock!

Wow! your Rooster Rock sock is coming out great!! I love the way the colors are striping!

Posted by: Emily at January 5, 2007 6:25 AM

Love it! They colors are great. I am learning to spin, and I hope to be that good one day.

Posted by: Beth K at January 5, 2007 10:53 AM

Wow, that looks awesome. I was just thinking this afternoon that I can't wait for my wheel to arrive. Now I'm feeling even more antcy. Not that I expect to have the ability to create anything this beautiful for quite some time. I just can't wait to try.

Your spinning is absolutely gorgeous! I need to get out my dye pots and get busy!
