Where Did Summer Go?

Well, while I have been knitting, the computer has not seen my face lately.
So now it's catch-up time!

What do you do when your knitting elbow hurts? When mine hurt earlier this summer, I decided to go through some of my yarn boxes to see what I had and do a bit of organizing. I even got out the ball winder and wound up a bunch of it.
The following photos are of yarn I bought in September of 2006 at the Puyallup Fair.

Kingston Colors Sock Yarn from The Artful Ewe based in Kingston, WA. There are two balls, 250 yards each. 75% Superwash Wool, 25% Nylon. I think I will make socks out of them.



Two different colorways of Hand-dyed Merino Wool from Fancy Image Yarn based in Shelton, WA. One ball, 250 yards, of Spring Rainbowy colors and two balls of Fall Rainbowy colors.


Lincoln Wool from Willow Creek Farm in Roy, WA.
320 yards--I hope to have enough to do a vest this winter.
This yarn is really interesting--beautiful red browns and silvery greys.


This 50% Silk, 50% Wool yarn is a bit disappointing: One hank made all those balls. I guess I just assume that if it's one hank, it's all one piece of yarn!

Here are some other ideas I thought of to do while suffering a knitting injury:

Sort through knitting books and magazines, perhaps deciding to sell or donate some.

Plan out a project.

Make notes on a finished project.

Decide whether to rip out or continue some long-lost unfinished projects.

Discover and read the many interesting knitting blogs out there and make notes of any projects that entice.

Don't do yardwork--that hurts the elbow too, and the goal is to get back to knitting as quickly as possible!!
