spoilers ahead...Petals Collection for June

The mail brought two goodies today. First my Knit Picks order of circular needles (size 2.5, 2.75, 3.0 mm) and DPNs (2.75 and 3.0 mm). I really love the tips on these needles and prefer them for socks. Now I can have a couple of pairs of socks going with Knit Picks needles.

The other thing that arrives was the June installment of Sundara Yarn's Petals Collection. OMG...it's gorgeous. Look (click to enlarge):


Here's a close-up of the the other side of the skein:


(The true color is somewhere between the two pictures.) Love this yarn!

The pattern is interesting and looks pretty challenging. Given my current state of sock mojo, I may want to hold off knitting it!

Once I get the Tide Walkers done (and I will get them done if it kills me!), then I'll start the next pair of socks. Even though I have enough needles to start another pair now, I don't want to until I get the current ones done. If I cast on another pair I might be tempted to put aside the Tide Walkers and then they'd end up on hiatus with the Hydrangea socks.

Back tomorrow with Eye Candy Friday...
