Ladybug, Ladybug, Fly Away Home

Or better yet, fly into my mailbox!

This is the "Ladybug" colorway from Opal's Rainforest Collection. I adore ladybugs so when I saw this online I knew I needed to add it to the sock stash. I have to admit that when I opened the envelope today I was a bit disappointed. I mean, it really doesn't look like much does it? But apparently, through the magic of knitting, it will soon look like this.

I like it. A lot. In fact, I like all the colors in the Rainforest Collection. Well maybe not the Parrot. But definitely all the other ones. I've never knit with Opal but it feels nice so hopefully this will be a success. At least enough of a success to justify buying another ball in a different colorway.

We haven't seen the Irish Hiking Scarf lately. It saw quite a bit of action this weekend and is coming along nicely.

This Louisa Harding yarn really is fantastic, I can't say enough good things about it. Plus it comes in 20, count 'em 20, different colors. You could knit an entire wardrobe using it. I just might.

That's all I think I have to report for today. Although if someone could please explain to me how I incurred $24.00 in late fees at Bradley Video, I'd really appreciate it.
