First off, wasn’t Lost freaking awesome last night! I can’t believe the season is almost over!
On the Italy Pr0n! I bought this in Lucca, I completely forgot to snap a picture of the shop, but we walked by it everyday. All the yarn was behind glass under the counter or in displays. I had to ask to see anything and since I only speak limited Italian and the gentleman helping me only spoke limited English it was a challenge. But what kind of knitter would I be if I let a little language barrier keep me from yarn! LOL This lace weight merino in a gorgeous ruby red color. I have two hanks about 1376 yards each. I think it will be the Cap Shawl or the Large rectangle in Spider Net or one of the other rectangle shawls from Victorian Lace Today
I finally started knitting again yesterday. I didn’t want to tell ya’ll this, but Italy stole my knitting mojo and I was starting to worry I’d never get it back! Seriously yesterday was the first time I even had the urge to knit.
Oh and I’ll be drawing a winner for the contest tomorrow !

I haven’t watched Lost yet – glad you didn’t go in to detail there! I’ll be watching it tonight, will make a good start to the weekend I’m sure. Is it really nearly the end of the season
So what ya knitting now? That looks like something lacy?

OK, that red is gorgeous!!! As for Lost, I couldn’t get all worried about Jack, since we’d already seen he would be OK — but that old guy? the scientists? And the gun toting crazies? oh yeah.

That’s a beautiful red! Yeah, that loss of knitting mojo happens to all of us eventually. Best thing is, you’ve got it back!

That is a lovely red. I can see why you wanted it.

Oooh, pretty! Such a beautiful red!
My knitting mojo also went away for a while, but it’s back now. It happens. It always comes back.

I covet your gorgeous Italian yarn! But that’s what you put it up there for isn’t it?
glad your knitting mojo has returned….
And can’t wait to see what that luscious red bit of Italy becomes.

LOST WAS IN-FREAKING-SANE!!!!!!!! OMG! I do NOT want it to be over! LOL

What a beautiful color of red! I’m always looking for the perfect, clear shade of red.
I think you were so smitten with Italy that it took you over. The knitting mojo never dies…it just takes a nap.
