'Nuff said

Here we have two of the newest additions to the "Panda Wool" family; 'red cinnamon' and 'violets'. Super soft. You'd never guess it was made in part from wood pulp. Ditto the "Maizy"... yarn from corn. I'm not even going to mention the chitin yarns...

Here is the mess my knitting bag burped out at me last night (l to r): Koigu - color number lost forever, but it's citrus-y, LotusYarn "a thousand hours", which is how long it's taking me to finish the second sock (I'm in a knitting black hole. Send Help.), and an old Opal, in a red (not pink), black, and white, "boring as snot" stripe... it may never have a mate. Or I may have to resort to drunken knitting to make it the least bit engaging.

Black and white fabrics, from Moda (I know, but it was a request, for a customer). Sigh. I'm making a string quilt from these, with turkey red and the red 'rock candy' fabrics. Looks mighty fantastic on paper. Will try to get more done, now that camera is back and Melly has talked me through the process of making it spit photos out on command. Latah, knittas... C

Edited to add:

My apologies to the fabulous Thimbleanna, both for the nasty knot she'll have on her noggin as a result of actual photos being posted, but also for my comment about the black and whites. I have nothing against b/w, except it has become a "thing", one of the many wagons which patchworkers are piling on to. Now that you mention it, I guess that's how the trends roll, so a hundred (or more) years from now, textile experts won't have difficulties dating the quilts. So, nevermind my snarkiness about b/w fabrics... I'm on the wagon, too. Wait 'till you see the result. (but hand dyeing them sounds fabulicious, too)
