This is the summer top - Elvira, all grown up. I'll have to wear a tank top underneath, but it'll be awesome for summer and made of a silk/seacell blend no less. Definitely making more garments out of the SeaSilk, that's for sure!

Echo flowers - finished!
Well, it was done a few days ago, but still...! I absolutely love the color, which I wasn't able to catch properly in the pic - it's a bit greener than it appears. The yarn is Handmaiden SeaSilk, which is divine to knit and wear. So much so that I decided to forge ahead and make a summer top with the rest of it. squee!!!

Christmas flip top mitts
Made these, also known as 'smokers mitts'. My 2 JCrew pairs (much finer gauge) are falling apart, so I realized I needed to make some replacements. Yummy Malabrigo will always do the trick!

Yummy scarf
To go with the Favorite cardigan. Had to use the rest of the yarn for something, right? :D

Favorite cardi
Not sure if it'll become the absolute favorite, but it's definitely getting a lot of use. Knit with Blue Moon Fiber Arts Single Lucious Silk in Corvid. BMFA's Raven Clan colors are to die for! And it's super warm and cozy due to the 50/50 silk/wool content. Buttons aren't really yellow, but it's hard to get an accurate pic when there's not much proper daylight...
How yummy is this?
Knit frantically in about 4 days, this is getting a lot of use. Used 1200 yds Malabrigo chunky in Frank Ochre. Soft and warm!

EatSleepKnit Loot
The 'loot' was picked up yesterday, and behold the yumminess! Malabrigo Lace (Sunset, Buscando Azul, Verde Adriana, Tortuga, Glazed Carrot), sock (Ochre, Solis, Tiziano Red), and Worsted in Tortuga. I completed the Yarnathon with these purchases, so I'm carefully plotting what to use the storewide discount on now... I'll have to wait a couple of paychecks, but that only gives me more time to plot...mwahahaa! The multicolor skein is a yarnathon prize of Noelle's Noodles fingering weight yarn.
You see, after completing the Whisper cardigan in Malabrigo Lace, I became obsessed with making more garments with this yummy lace yarn. That's why I bought 4 skeins of each lace color. I already got 3 patterns which calls for Mal lace: a dress, a skirt, and a sweater.
Oh, the possibilities! (There's not enough time in the day for everything I've got in my Ravelry queue!)

Sock yarn: Handmaiden Casbah in Paris
Isn't it pretty?! Squish in a skein.... and I've never knit a sock before. I think I may have to now. Especially with Tikru's awesome lace stocking pattern in the new VK *tear*. I try not to buy yarn without a pattern in mind, and, of course, when the yarn arrives, I forgot what it was...typical.
My Blue Moon Fiber Arts Lucious Single Silk (silk/merino blend) has actually arrived, too, but since the post office and customs decided to double charge me on that one I can't actually get the package until they've sorted it out - BOO!
And I really hope they make it possible to blog more than one pic at a time from Flickr...grrr...

New Patterns!
Super fast 4 day shipping from Kpixie (I placed the order Saturday, and I got it today!), there are some yummy patterns, a couple of which I'll be using my Malabrigo Silky for and a couple I may attempt to use Sea Silk for. I just wish I had more hands so I could work on several projects simultaneously...

Eat.Sleep.Knit surprises
After several fellow Ravelers posing the question of what the surprises contained, here's a pic (so I don't ruin the surprise in our ESK Rav group).... Ta Da! I actually got 2 suprises;
1 mini sweater pattern with a small skein of Sushi Sock from the Unique Sheep with a tape measure, yarn estimator card and a card to keep measurements on.
Second surprise (10M) was 2 skeins of Malabrigo Lace in Azalea (variegated) and Pink Frost with a scarf pattern.
Eat.Sleep.Knit rocks.
