Did you think I forgot about you? Of course not! Things have been a wee bit hectic around Eat.Sleep.Knit lately, with yarn arriving daily and so many of you hitting your first mile in the Yarn Marathon and winning fun prizes in our Yarn Lotto! We'd like to congratulate Agusta of StashDiva, who has just become our first member of the 10K club in the Yarn Marathon! Karen in CA is close behind her, and Cathy in VA, Thao in Irvine, CA, and Thao in San Jose, CA have all already passed up the 5K mark and earned their first $20 reward. We've had several winners of $5 store credit coupons, and Jessica in MN and Mary in KY each won free skeins of Smooshy with the lucky tickets in their orders!

We don't have any new yarn lines this week, but we do have new colors of J. Knits Charming - this lambswool/cashmere blend is a scrumptious yarn to knit with.

I've actually been getting a small bit of knitting done, believe it or not. The Anne Elliot Spencer shrug is shaping up, with only a few inches to go before I separate it out for the sleeves. I love the way the yarn is knitting up - really perfect for what I had in mind!

I've also been working on a Leaf Lace Scarf out of Malabrigo Lace in Lettuce a little bit at a time, but I can't seem to take a single decent picture of it. Believe me when I say that the pattern is lovely, and the yarn is incredibly soft.
