Yarn Pr0n - and Trixie Firecracker

Oh YEAHHHH!

Keith brought me lunch in the other day, and MY SOCKS THAT ROCK YARN!!!!!!! A whole month early!!!

I fondled it all day. Shamelessly. My Co-workers think I'm strange on a normal day but oh well.

I won't keep it from you any longer...

and now for the close up:

Fire on the Mountain, Mediumweight. Destined to be "Rock and Weave".

Pucks Mischief, Lightweight. To be "Titania's Revenge". The colour is pooling terribly, but thankfully is going a little stripy.

I started on the Rock and Weave (despite the fact that I have 2 sweaters - one for Mum and one for Keith, a Jesse's Flames from S & B AND a pair of socks from the latest Knitty for Ammon, the Space Invader ones on the cover).

I woke up the next morning to this:

Oh Trixie Firecracker. She only likes the EXPENSIVE STUFF!

My sweet cat Fay is well known for her exciting personality. She's usually ok, I have her trained quite well. But she has her Trixie moments.

Trixie Firecracker is her evil twin personality (like Nicky/Jessica from Heroes). She did this. Now what I want to know is why she has never done this before. She's usually utterly uninterested in my yarn. I have given her a ball before and she wasn't interested in the slightest. She must have expensive taste (like her mother).

It's ok though. My NZ$50.00 socks have been saved, and rewound, but I had to knit it through the winder for the whole cuff. This encouraged me to finish the cuff:

I love the way the yarn looks in the Linen Stitch

I also started the Titania's Revenge:

And to assure you, Mum, that I really am working on your Birthday Sweater, here's my progress:
