Yarn porn

I read the phrase "Yarn Porn" in someone else's blog and she'd put up loads of pics of her yarn collection... and I've always wanted to document the amount of yarn I have in my drawers. So here are just a few..

There were more but they were either not so pretty (those were the stuff I'd bought on sale in Shrewsbury but later wondered why I got them as I have no idea what to make with them!!), Or I have not got round to taking pics of them.

Nice black yarn.. And I cant decide what to do with 10 balls of it... Bought in Shrewsbury during my last trip back to England. Maybe a shawl or a vest or something... I dunno... Will decide maybe after I finish my lilac top! Gosh, I'm slow..

I used the yarn above to make some fingerless gloves for myself but those didnt come out too nice (I'd used an Irish moss stitch for the main body of the glove instead of the stockingnette stitch shown in the pattern cos I thought it'd be nice but somehow it didnt come out as how I like it.) Ah well, practice makes perfect!

This yarn in the picture above was used for my baby blanket.. I'd made a very guesstimate assumption on how much yarn I needed and overbought by maybe 4 balls. Lovely yarn thought and not too expensive.. And versatile cos its white in colour... :)


Lovely yarn above bought in Singapore last August. I cant remember the name of the shop at the moment for the life of me (my brain's really tired this week remember?).. But it was the one in Tanglin Mall. Bought 2 colours cos I was planning to perhaps make a shawl with them..

Anyway, I'll try to take pics of the rest of my yarn.. And perhaps start on another project as well.. Hehe.. We'll see.. Ta..
