Another Score!

I've been a busy knitting fool lately. I finished the Bella's Mittens, I'm working on a Sockhead Hat and a pair of Bubble Wrap socks. I've also been busy looking at what sock yarns are available on Ravelry in the destash group. I really like the idea of that group, which I'm sure I've stated several times before. Even if I don't buy anything, I love looking at what yarns others are using and getting ideas of what I want to use.
This week I actually purchased a lovely skein of SockPixie yarn from a gentlemen who was destashing. It's a Tencel/Merino blend called Napoleon & Josephine.



It's got red, gold, brown and black in it with a terrific sheen from the Tencel. I'm really looking forward to knitting up a nice pair of socks for Patrick with this yarn.
If you're on Ravelry, make sure you check out this group. You can get yarns at good prices and you may be helping out another knitter short of funds.

I drool over the offerings on that forum all the time. So far, I've mostly managed to resist. Mostly. lol
