Then there was the yarn.

I'm not sure how it happened, but somehow in all of last week's excitement, I forgot to make note of the yarn purchases.  It's not a huge haul since I was mainly there for some Dorchester Farms yarn and to shop for combs - which, as you saw yesterday, have been purchased. 

Pretties:

Clockwise from bottom:
1.  Shaeffer Anne in a colorway I'm going to call 'Parrothead'.  Just because.
2.  Dorchester Farms sock yarn in caramel/forrest green/plum
3.  Gray\rust\green superwash roving from Dorchester Farms
4.  1350 yards black alpaca laceweight.  I couldn't leave it there but I have no real feeling for which pattern to make with it. Suggestions?  Anyone?

New on the needles: Klaralund in Berrocco Softwist.  Thanks to a trip to NH this weekend for a wedding, the back is done and one sleeve is 1/3 completed as well.

Nice, selective little haul you have there. Quality over quantity. That takes discipline, so yay! :-)

I really like that Dorchester Farms sock yarn. Great color(s).

Oh, lovely stuff! I have a cone of black laceweight wool/cashmere that I couldn't resist, but haven't figure out what to do with it (2 years later)...

Ooh, I'm knitting a sockweight clapotis in Anne right now - it's lovely stuff.

Shaefer Anne is my new favorite yarn.
