Top left, some baby blue and darker blue Shepherds Wool, worsted, destined to be herringbone mittens as a gift for someone - don't know who. Top right and in the next picture down, some trio from Brooks Farm - just loved the color, don't know what it will be, but it will be for me. Bottom left is some Skinny Bugga! from the Sanguine Gryphon. I don't think the photos do the colors justice. They are a lovely combination of yellow, red & orange. I'm torn between making this into socks and making it into a shawl. I fear the socks won't do right by the lovely colors as they may not be seen. Next is some DK from Shelridge Farms which will become a sweater for our little niece. Last, some Four Play from Brooks Farm which will be a sweater for me. I'm torn between a couple of patterns, so I won't decide for a while, since I need to get going on some Christmas gift knitting.Must say, I think this is my favorite. I have no idea what it will be yet, but it will be for me. Likely a shawl or a cowl. If I make a cowl, I'll probably have enough left for a hat too.
The photo doesn't really show the colors of this yarn at their best. I stopped at this booth, not realizing that it was the popular Sanguine Gryphon. There were many, many beautiful yarns there. I wish I had purchased more, but didn't have any real projects in mind for them, so resisted.

Nice haul! Were there crazy lines at The Sanguine Gryphon when you were there? They were NUTS on Saturday!
I was there on Sunday. I think I was probably at the Sanguine Gryphon between 11:30 and noon. The line was not too bad then, not even 10 minutes.
