where to buy kool aid?
i'm looking for some decent kool aid colours online but i can only find basic ones. i want something really blue. where;s the best place to buy from?

D'you think this will be nice in Alpaca?
Needless to say I succumbed to Pictish's pre-holiday sale, and bought a cone of green Alpaca.

Now I have been looking at patterns and I found this one Premier Pullover  The only thing is that the original is knitted in cotton/tencel, so do you think that alpaca will be almost too soft and not hold any shape, or do you think it'll be nice and drapey and snug?

Comments please!!! Laughing

Tempest Knitalong anybody???
OK it's practically finished, but I'm having issues with the button band!!! I don't think I like it in garter stitch - don't suppose anyone did it in a hemmed st.st. did they? - That's what I think will look better but I don't know if it'll be too heavy.

Have also realised that you should do guage swatches!!! _ My row count is out, so it's quite a bit longer than the original, and the sleeves are full length. - Luckily I like it though! Smile
Fiesta Baby Boom
This is lovely yarn.  It's the first time I've tried it - ordered it from The Loopy Ewe about 8 days and it arrived today, my birthday, couldn't have asked for better timing. Very Happy   I'm really into blues/browns at the moment so the "Taos" colourway was ideal.  I'm thinking this may become an FCS for me, as I've given my other ones away as presents.   It's far too nice to be hidden away as socks anyway.  Wink

Magic loop - What size needles
I like 80cm for socks, any longer and the loops twist round and come back to get me whilst I'm knitting.

You should be fine with your Knitpicks interchangeables
I only have odd socks...
...but will finish this pair of toe up monkey trainer socks first and then select another from my odd ones Laughing
