New Love

I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only knitter in the universe that oohing and aaahing over Amy Butler's fabric. Yesterday, I went over to Thimble Creek . Initially, I was just thinking to pick up the swing bag pattern that I've been eyeing for awhile. Before I stepped into the store, I have sworn to myself not to let fabric fever spread in my vains the way fiber has.



....and guess what? I ended up buying six different fabric. Yes, I'm officially hooked. Look at all these fabulous fabrics. How can I pass it up!





After I spent a good portion of my money on fabrics. Then I realised there was a yarn store just few steps away from the quilt shop....of course I had to go in and check it out. Yep! that's right, more yarn...I walked out the store with a skein of Malabrigo and some Cotton Fleece. I swear this Malabrigo stuff is so so gorgeous, incredibly soft and the color is luscious. I bought Geranio, the only skein left in the bin. Love this color.



I'm working on a skinny herringbone scarf right now. Cast on the scarf last night and just loved the way the yarn looked. I've been looking at this (cactus flower), this (damask rose) and this (mango). By the way, have anyone try to knit with their lace pure wool before? I'm drooling. I really want this (Verdeazul). Malabrigo is definitely my favourite yarn of the month.
