Thank you!

Morning Ladies! I'm tired too. I shouldn't be. I went to bed at a decent time (around 10:30) and Ayden slept well so I should be better than I am.

I do have pics to share. Some of you may have already seen these....

WSK Brooks:


and a new colorway "Once Upon A Dream"


I'm making progress on the Ellie's rainbow kimono... I'll try to get WIP pics of that tonight. I'm about 2" from doing the border. knitting newbie things! They go so fast!

Thanks, I have all of those except Knit picks. I wasn't sure how much roughness they could take
How is the Knit picks regular worsted weight? Not for him but in general how does it knit up. I need to get some solids for a few hats and I want to try twisty trousers but I can't find a coop anywhere for solids

Shelly - I love those! The longies worked up great and I love the new colorway!

I don't like the worsted WotA very much for longies. It's thin and fuzzy and in my experience felts way too easily.

You could try some Cascade--WEBS and Jimmy Beans have good prices on it and I find that it's a lot more durable than the KP worsted.

I love the longies and the new colorway Shelly! I'd love to see that knit up.

Oh and speaking of the weather, I had to make an emergency run to target yesterday to get fall clothes for DS. I was very unprepared for the cooler weather!

Great job Shelly!

If you do cascade do the 128. I think the 220 is too thin, the 128 seems closer to BBR, MMW, Cestari etc.
