October 3, a special opportunity to get ready for Spinzilla!
It also included three colors of Lang Cloud, the fluffy, lightweight bulky yarn with the super fun stripes. (We're waiting for five more colors, but these are too fun to make you wait until we have them all!) You can take a look at favorite patterns for this yarn on Ravelry here.
We also got a batch of Washington-themed stickers. I wasn't born here in the Evergreen State, but once I arrived here at the age of 22, I wanted to stay! Find the stickers here.
…to inspire
Man, when the COZY SEASON switch flips, it flips, and I felt that happen last week. We're seeing lots of people buying yarn for sweater projects, and we've got sweater quantities of yarn at almost every yarn weight, plus suggestions for holding yarns together.
One of my oddest markers of the changing seasons is that I want black tea more oftenn than coffee once autumn arrives. I also made my first soup of the season: this one, and it was delicious, and VERY fast and easy. Five stars, will make again!

I'm mostly furiously trying to complete samples for the Have a Ball Fall Crawl, but I also worked on the Hey Halo Sweater in Gepard Garn Woolia combined with Kid Seta. I'd been using US 9 Lantern Moon interchangeables, and when I needed to the increase the cord length, I couldn't locate what I wanted, and decided to move it onto Addi Turbo Rocket interchangeables, and that turned out to be a great choice. The Italian Merino of Woolia is less...slippery?...than a superwash Merino wool, and I'm enjoying having just a little less drag on the stitches. This pattern features a compound raglan top-down construction, and it's fun to watch how the shape is evolving differently from a simplified raglan--the body stitches zoom out fast to the shoulder joint, then the sleeves are increased without body increases, then body increases resume briefly. Close up, it looks like this.
