Joining Ginny from Small Things for the weekly Wednesday Yarn Along.
Ahhhh, yarn shopping. This weekend I went out and picked up even more yarn, I can't seem to help myself. I do really good for awhile and then BANG! I need to fill up the stash or something. Anywho, I got three skeins of Manos del Uruguay from Tempe Yarn and Fiber. One skein of "fire, one of "aqua" and one of "melt away mints". I could have bought every single colorway. It is so hard to pick just a few of those yarns, they are heavenly, so soft and cuddly, and oh so beautiful.
I am working with "aqua" right now making a pebble vest in the round so there are not all the millions of wee little buttons along the side. I am going to make both shoulder straps have a button hole and I am planning on using some of my Wooly Moss Roots buttons, but to pick which ones, seems darn near impossible.
And on the reading front, I should be reading 8 other books, but instead I am enjoying my two new magazines, and finding a bit of time here and there to read Dan Brown's new book before Logan takes it from me to read... thankful he is visiting friends for a week, so I have some time.

new yarn = pure happiness! Lovely acquisition!
I agree with Karen; new yarn always provides so many wonderful possibilities. Enjoy!
Did you read The Lost Symbol? I received it for my birthday a while back and found it hard to read. Unlike his other books. I'm wondering about Inferno. And I love your wool! Beautiful colorways.
Fantastic yarn!! I enjoy magazine reading too - and blog reading - sometimes those little bits are just enough. :)
Enjoy!
Love the new yarn! So pretty!
I adore Manos. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Enjoy the knitting!
Your new yarn is wonderful! I love Manos yarn!! I could also buy it all and the story behind manos yarn is lovely too.

i love new yarn. thus, i have banned myself from the knit shop until i actually finish a project. what's the magazines. i see taproot and but the other one looks intriguing, too.
Pebble vests in Manos Del Uruguay with Wooley Moss buttons? Oh yea.
Blessings, Debbie
I immediately recognized the Manos del uruguay aqua yarn. I knit longies with that colorway for a friend's baby and LOVE the feel of that yarn. Hope you enjoy the yarn as much as I do.
lovely new yarn!
Manos colors really are all fabulous.....good choices!!!
yarn shopping is always the right decision. always.
@fairymom: i did read the lost symbol. i really enjoyed it, i just wished i would have read it before we went to washington DC because we would have went looking for all those cool places.
Lovely yarny colours! I noticed that you read The Mother, so do I!
Have a blessed week.
