Georgia on my (Tangled) Mind

These yarn road trips have really got to stop.

But do they really?

Months and months ago, another knitblogger gave me the business card for her LYS.  Knowing that Tangled Skeins was a purveyor of Sweet Georgia Yarns, and knowing that their dyer was planning a lengthy hiatus, I had to swing by and see if I could get my hands on some.

Sheryl, the wonderful proprietor and Yarnist (I just love that term), broke the news that, sadly, she was all out of Sweet Georgia.  Then the yarns goddesses smiled down, the angels sang, and I found this:

 

Superwash.  Saffron.  Sumptuous.

Sheryl's shop is homey and lovely and stocked to the gills with beautiful things.  You should visit her.  She promises to get a blog and/or site going.  You should bug her about that too.

The goddesses were not so kind as I embarked on Thelonius #2, although I'm looking forward to a repeat visit to the Loop for far more Louet Gems than I need.  What a squishy, springy delight!  So close...

And my penance for shopping is to cast on from the oldest stash I had.  Regia.  Self-striping.  Not soft, not pretty, but soon to stop haunting me from the stash room.  It's pair #6 for the plunge, and it's going very quickly.

Have a yarn-filled weekend!

Mmm, I love that Saffron colorway. I snatched up a few skeins of Sweet Georgia when I was at Tangled Skeins too!

Pretty!

I am constantly awed at your knitting/project completion speed. LOOK at those AWESOME socks!

[Julie]

Those socks are even prettier in person! And you are definately one of the speediest knitters around. What do you do with all those socks?

Oooh . . . I so want to try Sweet Georgia. Jealous!
