Malabrigo March ........................................

Yes I am writing about Malabrigo March in May.......it came and went and again no posts of my efforts. I ended up using one project to complete two tasks. Knitting with Malibrigo in March and also knitting along a pair of Shur'tagals as designed by the lovely Alice Yu. They originally appeared on The Inside Loop back last summer some time and I purchased the yarn I wanted to knit them with at the Iknit day it just took me quite a while to finally get casting on. The two knit alongs prompted me to get my act together and get knitting.





Here they are in the colourway Solis. These have already gone off the their new owner who received them as a 40th birthday present.

Confessions of Iknit Day purchases.................

I really didn't buy very much honest!





















I can justify each one of these lovely purchases.
The needles were money left from my birthday back in January.
The Kraemer yarn has been on order for a couple of months.
The lovely little socktopus gadgets are going away to Father Christmas to reappear as if by magic on Christmas day in my stocking and the buttons are for my February Lady Sweater finished back in July and in desperate need of some closeur!
The Malabrigio was the only real induldence as I really don't need any more sock yarn but I just loved the colour and there was a lot of buzz about it when it arrived in Alice's shop. I have already decided that I am going to knit the Shurgatal Socks that Alice designed which are on the insideloop. So all perfectly justifiable as I said in the first place.

NOTE: The baggu was a free gift with purchase from Socktopus. I am not saying how much you had to spend to get one just in case I incriminate myself.
