More Yarn...

Okay. I know I wasn't going to buy any more yarn, but yesterday the kiddos, the hubby and I all went on a field trip day. Since the kids are off this week for fall break (which is feeling more like summer), we took them on a field trip. We went on a museum tour at the local college campus, one of which they wouldn't let us in -- my purse was too big and I might "bump into the artwork." That is a direct quote from the security guard! Can you believe it! She wouldn't let us in because I wouldn't leave my purse at her desk! There's just no way! I had all the stuff you would normally carry in a purse in there and there was no way I was leaving it with her!

Anyway, on a brighter note, I did get to go to one of the LYS's that I hadn't been to before because it's all the way across town. It was a nice store, small, but she had a good selection. And she told me that another LYS opened up closer to me, that's my next week's trip (when they're back at school!). All I walked out with though was this:

... Regia, sock yarn in like a pink, but not hot pink color.

I think I'm going to either do the Uptown Boot socks or the Embossed Leaves, from Favorite Socks. I think both would look great with this color. But before I can begin, I need to finish the hubby's socks (and Ella's sweater). Tune in tomorrow for DoT (dogs on Thurs.) and I might be ready to unveil Ella's sweater.

I love both of those patterns - yes! The yarn would look lovely as either.

That pink is beautiful. I can tell that it is not shocking pink, but more of a deep pink. Very pretty.
