What I Shouldn't Be Doing. . .
. . .writing this post. I've got so much to do today, but I couldn't resist showing you this gorgeous yarn that I got from the Plucky Knitter. Besides, Megan started the wonderful Flickr group Fiberlicious this week. I love an excuse to show off pretty yarn! She also urges us to flash a bit of yarn on "Fiberlicious Friday", but I didn't have time yesterday.
The colorway is "Black Watch Plaid". It's a single ply sock yarn. I can't wait to give it a try. My favorite size one sock needles are tied up in another project right now though. So this yarn will have to wait.
. . . and on a completely different topic:
Who can resist pirate bandages? Especially when they give you a little ducky with an eye patch!
What pretty yarn! I like your Fiberlicious interpretation. I had great fun making a Fiberlicious dinner yesterday, and I found sock yarn I'd forgotten I had.
Cool pirate bandages! I have a friend who loves all things piratical. I'll have to look for those.
Have a great weekend!

Ooo, I think I have a boo boo. Do you think I could snag a little pirate aide?

I thought my kids were already in bed, but my younger boy popped in just as I opened this post. Did I mention that he is a pirate fiend? So, I promised him that I'd ask about where one may purchase those pirate bandages...?
For me...I lurve that yarn!!
