New Malabrigo

DHL pulled up to the door yesterday and that could only mean one thing - Malabrigo.  Boxes of beautiful, luscious, and oh, so soft, Malabrigo merino.  I had all I could do to not take a bag of the deep Burgundy home with me.
 
The boxes also contained our first shipment of Malabrigo angora.  I will have pictures for you soon.  Each skein is hand spun and hand dyed in Uruguay and is 100% angora.  I could just sit and pet it all day.  Right now, I’m playing around with some pattern ideas for this yarn.  I want something that will really let the yarn do its thing.  
 
We also got A LOT of new books.  Once again, I’ve been shopping.
Sorry that I only have this one picture for you.  I didn’t think about it until I was about to lock up for the night.
 
This was my first Knit at Night since the surgery and it was so much fun to sit, knit, and chat with everyone.  I didn’t actually manage to knit anything that lasted.
 
I tried.  But my brain was not fully functioning.  Therefore I ripped the few rows I did manage to knit on my Rogue.  And poor Tracy! I was “helping” her with the first chart on her Rogue and got her started in the wrong place!  Luckily she caught it rather quickly. Sorry!

Anna had everyone in awe with her Indigo Ripples skirt:
Jerri finished her Rogue pocket:
Amy helped Becka get her wheel in working order and then got her started spinning again

All in all, it was a great day, and a relaxing night.
