It's Raining Yarn!
My yarn came for the Dye-o-Rama swap! It's Wool2Dye4 Super Sock. I got a pound of it so I can have fun dying up some for myself too. I've been wanting to try this yarn. It looks similar to Koigu once it's dyed.
Speaking of sock yarn, my sister, the avid sock knitter, knit up these beauties in silk yarn. (Sorry, I don't know who's yarn it is, maybe she'll tell us in the comments - hint.) As I'm sure you all know, it's Grumperina's Jaywalker. My sister, LJ, is very active on the Sock Knitters forum. She doesn't have a blog . . . yet. LJ is a computer genius, and helped me sort my way through the start-up of this blog. It was so much easier because I had her help.
In my quest to get some of the bulkier stuff out of my stash, I started a new sweater for one of my girls. It's in Katia Denim that I got on Elann last summer. I will be a pretty quick knit and make room in the stash for new yarn! Maybe I'll post pictures of the new WIP tomorrow.
I see my feet have made their worldwide debut :) It was Knitting Goddess hand-dyed 100% courette silk that I got on ebay. It knit up very nicely.

Yay for hand-dyed yarn. I want to try that myself. Good luck!

Love the socks your sister knit up. 100% silk? They must feel so wonderful!
