Tasty Tuesdays: Mmh Mmh Mal!

Posted by Virtuous at 3/25/2008

BAM! BAM! BAM!

Yeah I have been dibbling and dabbling in some Malabrigo lately! ;op

That is Purple Mystery, Stonechat, & Polar Morn

I have been in lurve with Stonechat for a while now and finally got my hands on a skein. It is just as pretty in person as I thought! Then I bumped into Polar Morn and was intrigued! That will turn into the Gretel hat..won't that just look lovely in all those cables!!

You know I forgot all about my primary colors and how blue and red make purple!

But I am having a hard time finding Purple in this colorway! LOL

In this color's defense I do recognize a purple base, but it is basically blue to me! Haha! ;op

Over the Easter weekend I had some yarn that came in and Burgundy stole my heart!I KNEW it!! I knew this would be the color I had been searching for awhile! Now that is a CRIMSON color and I lurve it too!

But then I just had to try the new silky Malabrigo! :oD

Oooooooh!! Aaaaaaaaahhh! Not as much yardage (I should have gotten 2 hanks), and a lighter weight but very very nice! This is in Viena and I need to figure out what to do with it. It is in some great fall colors!

Well you know I was winding up some Mal over here! Afterall, it is still Malabrigo March!!

Don't they look like cousins!

Yep their destiny has already been set for them! Haha!

   You really have it bad for the Malabrigo - not that I can blame you! That Viena is beautiful. I hadn't seen that before.

   I love that blue! You really are branching out colour wise! I didn't realise Malabrigo came in such a variety of textures as well as colors!

   Girl, we're going to have to set you up in a 12 step program, if you keep up with this addiction issue of yours! The colours are really lovely ... enjoy!

   Malabrigo, how pretty! I really want some... it's going to be my reward for knitting up a whole bunch of stash, I think.
   
   BTW, I haven't forgotten about the explanation of "sitting at his feet" -- just haven't dug up the annotated Bible yet. Since the husband and I consolidated our books, things have been surprisingly hard to find!
