yarn p0rn friday the 4th

The star attraction, Knit Picks Shimmer in the color way deep woods. this was the only picture that was anywhere near accurate, but I caught the color dead-on as soon as I put it aginst my blue jeans, instead of the reddish couch. I can't wait till i find the right lace pattern for this. I only have one skein, so I am thinking about a lacy scarf.
this is for my first baby sweater. It is a little more purple in real life. I don't like pastels all that much, and i think babies can see bright colors better, so I got a good, bright but girly color for this baby.close up of the yummy mernio style goodness.and a shot of the sock yarn I am making the captain's socks out of. yummy.

Oooh, that Shimmer is lovely. I agree--I prefer strong colors for babies and I enjoy the knitting more.
