Yarn Pr0n Good… Stormy
(Does anyone even vaguely recognize that rather tweaked quote?)
While at Stitches, I had the pleasure of meeting Lindsay of Storm Moon Knits (her shop’s not fully up just yet). She’s absolutely darling, and her yarns? GORGEOUS. I was drooling over one called “Let There Be Lips” (Yay Rocky Horror) but missed out on it. I did, however, find two fabulous colors that I was able to snag.
First – “Mandragora” (and yes, I know you saw this before, but as Kris pointed out when I asked him why he took pictures of it again, it’s really pretty.)
I picked it up at least five times and kept putting it back before I finally realized that if I picked it up that many times, I clearly loved it, and should just BUY it. (Yes, I’m a little slow sometimes)Second – “Rockabilly Blues”.
I picked this up for Kris. I really thought he’d like it, and I was right. When I showed it to him, he loved it. So, there will be kickass socks in the future for both of us.
(Oh, and the post title? It’s a reference to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Beer Bad”. The line “Beer good… foamy” gets used around here from time to time)

But I can agree–yarn pron nice!

Both of those are beautiful. I also like the Foggy Bottom yarn from Neighborhood Fiber Co.
