Boston yarn party

I went to Boston for a conference last week and couldn't resist the opportunity to buy some more yarn. I did my yarn shopping at Windsor button, which had a great selection, reasonable prices and friendly staff. Everything a girl needs! Overall, I was reasonably restrained. This is what I bought:


I bought a skein of Malabrigo worsted and I already cast on a scarf out of it. It really is as nice as everyone says - I'll be definitely buying more!

The rest is all sock yarn: Plymouth Happy Feet, Mountain Colours Bearfoot and Claudia Hand-painted. I can't wait to knit with them all! I am a bit concerned that the Happy Feet will pool, but we'll see. I am especially In love with the Mountain Colours. It is a colourway called Lodgegrass and even though it is not the kind of colourway I would normally go for, I fell in love with it. It is a mix of blues and grays and oranges. Not sure what I'll make out of it, but I like looking at it!

Since I got home I haven't been doing much knitting. I am very busy with work and now I even have a horrible cold. I have made a little progress on my cardigan, but not much.

I leave you with a picture of the ducklings in Boston's Public Gardens.
