Mail Call

SpaceCadet’s July Yarn Alliance shipment has landed.  I haven’t been a part of the Alliance for several years.  This selection is quite different from the yarns I remembered.  I am a fan of MCN (Merino/cashmere/nylon)for socks.  This yarn is a more exotic cousin, MYN (the Y is for yak!).  I will be using this really soon.  The natural yak wool is the little patch of gray.  The thing in front is a cute little needle sizer.

I managed to go several weeks without giving in to temptations from Jimmy Beans.  Then a Shark Week kit appeared.  It is a mittens/mitts pattern by Spillyjane.  I don’t need hand coverings but I am a fan of Jane’s work.  I also have this thing about Shark Week socks.  I plan to do the kit as socks.
