Given the weather outside I decided to post the Posh Yarns Lucia I bought last weekend because of the name alone! It is lovely yarn but with the roads flooding, the rain driving and cold, Squall fits my mood. It is a very large skein 155grams and I think it is a 'manly' colour for socks, would you agree? I have enough to do socks for all 3 men in my life with this extra large skein. :)
That is such a lovely colour, very squally! I love the cardigan you are starting too, what colours have you chosen? I wish we had a crochet class near me, I am trying to master ripple crochet, with NO success at all :(
ReplyDeleteA truly lovely color. I bet they are happy to get socks in that yarn... I´ve joined the Mystery Stole3 KAL. So now the biggest issue is to find yarn that suits and beads for it....
ReplyDeleteNow I´ve made up my mind! I´ll knit it in Grignasco Merinosilk, black with golden beads (a bit rock´n roll I think ;) So I´ve ordered it from a yarnshop here in Sweden right now.... now there´s no return ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the shades of blue and grey in that. Dee does do some gorgeous posh stuff :)
ReplyDeleteLiz my crochet class was 100 miles away, but since I was visiting family it came with built in babysitting :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful color! Very manly. It will make beautiful socks.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely colour.
ReplyDeleteHere´s first a link to the swedish yarn seller (sorry, no english..)

And then to an colorchart found somewhere...
http://www.yarns-and.com/Grignasco/GRImerinosilk.htm
It costs about £9,52 for a skein of 100g wich and it´s 1 533yds on each one so ít should do with one.
I know she´s selling abroad using paypal or/and payson if you´re interested. Let me know in that case and I´ll help you with mailadress and so on. ;)
Oh, here is the page with the yarn on too:

I think that is a very appropriate colour for today! Just stick half a road of twigs, leaves and general debris in there and you could call it "My Street" :)
ReplyDeletewhat a great colour. I'd keep it for myself!!
ReplyDeleteMaggan thanks a million for your offer, it is very sweet. I think I will get some Zephyrspun in Vanilla, for easiness etc.
ReplyDeleteCJ I would keep it except that manly colours are few and far between and besides my stash is phenomenal, I have to share :D
Piglottie I couldn't believe the weather and the name was so coincidental that I had to post it! :)
Lovely color! That' will make very nice Man socks!
ReplyDeleteVery manly coloiurway and great for socks.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely colour and very squally, but then you have so many lovely coloured skeins...
ReplyDeleteI do love the purple of the sea silk from Piece of Beauty.
That's one big skein you've got there!!! Lovely colours.
ReplyDeleteAh, Dublin. Was there in Sept. last year for a wedding which was coincidentally our 10th wedding anniversary on the same day!
I can't get over how much it has changed over the years. But I could never go back there. Although a long weekend here or there isn't such a bad thing!! Lol.
