My preciousssssss......

Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock bag in violet:


Socks that Rock skeins in the bag:


Left to right: All lightweight unless otherwise noted.
Jail House Rock, Backstabber, Tanzanite (med), Rose Quartz (med), Jade, Falcon's Eye, Grandma's Flower Garden, Philospher's Stone, and Metamorphic.

I tried to widen my color spectrum a bit and didn't do too badly, but I hadn't realized Philosopher's Stone & Metamorphic had such similar rust & blue shades. I'm still working on heading in the yellow/orange section of the color wheel so the orange in Jail House Rock is a good start. I am contemplating getting Olivenite, Sunstone, Oregon Red Clover Honey, or 24Karat on my next STR buying binge, but I could really go for the Coral. It's more on the pinkish side, so I will ponder my potential wish list for awhile.

In any case, all this sock yarn acquisition has me realizing I need to start knitting all the sweaters on my list, so I can make more room. ;) The monkeys are growing and if I don't make them the sweaters I want to make, they won't fit.

Off on vacation next week. Not sure if I'll be posting since my laptop and I are having issues again. I'm not at the point where I'll happily cross the PC/MAC divide, but I'm actually considering it.

Ooooh! The colors, amazing! And the names are cool too. Jailhouse Rock and Backstabber are my personal favorites.

Sooooo pretty!!! Just love all the new colors :) I got a few of those too (and of course, now I'm loving some of the additional new ones!) I love Backstabber and Philosopher's Stone especially!!! And the bag too :)

Whoa! Quite the haul! I saw the pics in your camera, but seeing it spread out on the screen-and all such awesome colors!

Still waiting for my (greatly reduced) STR order!

BTW, I noticed that the Rose Quartz isn't shown on the BMFA site anymore! It is gorgeous! But...you know...I'm on a serious yarn diet anyway, so i guess it helps with the temptation.
