I may not have done much knitting while in Munich, but I did get a couple of new projects for the knitting bag.

First, from the Wollkorb - a Lana Grossa haven! - two balls of Cat yarn, the softest, fuzzy yarn ever.

After letting out a little moan upon feeling the sample swatch, the saleslady came up to me and told me what my fingers already new - there's alpaca in there! I'm thinking a fuzzy scarf to go with my new Zara jean jacket.

I also visited Wolle Rödel, where I got my cool circ needle holder last time I was in Munich. Lots more fabby Lana Grossa yarns, but I restrained myself. Yeah, I restrained myself so that I could get two bags of a soft wool/acrylic blend in white to make Ubernatural.

check out that Sonderpreis: 1.50 Euros!

But that's not all! A little package of Phildar patterns arrived at my in-laws while I was gone (thanks!). I just happened to bring along the perfect yarn for one particular sweater from this catalog (hee, hee).

It's more stash yarn. I am being soooo good! (Pause for applause - thank you, thank you.) I originally got the Phildar yarn from Leigh. She had bought it to make this sweater. The yarn didn't agree with her and I bought the yarn from her and had planned to make the same sweater. In the meantime, I've produced more than a few feminine sweaters (like Rosebud) with big, bell sleeves (like Klaralund) and am thinking, do I really need another? Not really. But I do need this sweater. It's the black one in the picture, but mine's gonna have the big stripes from the original sweater I'd planned. This is going to be so cool.

Fall, here I come!
