So remember how I said I was going to pick up a skein of Pigeonroof Studios? Well, I'm super speedy! I got this skein of cashmere/merino/nylon fingering weight yesterday.
I was thinking about getting one of the semisolid colors, which have a beautiful depth. But what I really love about Pigeonroof Studios is her ability to combine colors - all of her colorways are a touch gothic, blended like watercolors, and often consist of shades that you wouldn't ordinarily combine but end up looking gorgeous.
I don't know if these will become socks. I think this yarn would look awesome in garter stitch, so I might have to find something with simple lace and garter. The yardage is a little skimpy - 380 yards - because of the cashmere content, but I'm sure I can find something.
The last few days have been really great - Lumberjack and I have been hanging out with one of my good friends and her boyfriend, hanging out at a really cool coffee shop in New Haven, and taking naps in the middle of the day - basically the perfect vacation. Saturday we went to New York to see the Alexander McQueen exhibit at the Met, which was breathtaking. It was really great to see the sheer breadth of his creativity. All of the clothes were intricate, hand-beaded, intellectualized and yet still beautiful. The world has lost a genius, but he left an incredible legacy behind him.
