....Cascade's Heritage Sock yarn. Have you guys seen this? I just finished a project for my next book in it and I have really enjoyed working with it.

I am a huge sock yarn fan in general and there are so, so many gorgeous hand dyes out there, but I often find it hard to find a good solid colored sock yarn. I think the Heritage is awesome, it comes in a ton of great solid colors, is a great price, is nice and soft and almost fluffy to work with, and makes a good looking knit fabric. And if you do like the multi colors for sock yarn, they have it in a variety of multi colors as well. I have actually used it for more than just monster/toy projects, and am in the middle of a sweater with it too. I am using it to make this (and have been for some time now...):
In this colorway:
It is coming out very lovely (and at the rate I have been working on it, I should be done with it about the time The Kid turns 5.)
Alright, back to the crazy-book-knitting-marathon. I have put myself on house-arrest this week so that I can get in as much work as possible. It is actually going fairly well, much to my surprise!

Oh, I love knitting manu... I've knit 2 already! I bet it's going to be great in the Heritage!
