Happy Monday! I’m so glad that it’s the last Monday in August. So ready for fall and cooler temps and changing leaves. What about you? I’m also ready for fall knitting. Which brings us to yarn. Today we added in:
Leading Men Yarn – Show Stopper – Steve and Andy do such a beautiful job of dyeing up these pretty colors. Show Stopper is 75% Superwash Merino and 25% Nylon, with a generous 463 yards in the skein. The added nylon makes it great for socks, but you’ll also love it for sweaters and accessories. Plus it’s fun to knit with Leading Men yarn.
Knitifacts Stitchmarkers – I love these stitchmarkers. They are snag-free, come in pretty colors, fit up to a size 8 (5.0 mm) needle, and come 20 to a pack. I always need a lot, so 20 in a pack is helpful. Perhaps if I didn’t have so many WIP’s, I wouldn’t need as many, but I don’t see that changing any time soon…
