I went to a new yarn store the other day; the Knit Shop where the owner was lovely and the store was open, roomy, and easy to locate things in.  Much, much nicer than my trip to Soft Horizons Fibre, and probably my LYS of choice here in Eugene.  I got some yarn for a hat I’m designing for a friend, although no photos of that yet.  I also picked up some brown sheep nature spun sport in turquoise wonder, pepper, and spring green and a skein of brown sheep cotton fleece in Lime Light that was on sale.  I had to pry myself away from her sock yarns, she had some very very beautiful ones.  Anyway, here’s a photo of the new members of my stash (as always click for biggerization):

I also took a photo of the mitts I’m working on.  I’ve almost got the thumb gore done on the second one, and I love them.  The one shown here just needs its fingers picked up.  I know the cuff ribbing is wonky, but I decided that since I was being dumb enough to make it wonky, that I would live with it.  The other one does not have that wonkiness. Please ignore my rough hands, they’ve just been through a lot of cold, manual labor.
