music and yarn, or why i am blissfully happy

i bought some cd's i'd been meaning to buy. here they are. (click through to see what they are)

i didn't buy mike t's cd - he being a good guy sent it to me. thanks t!

but here's the yarn i wasn't up to showing off last night.

formerly jessica's frog tree alpaca sport (about 400 g of the green). needs a project. thoughts?

here's the alpaca cloud i bought from knitpicks in horizon. it's about 1600 yards and i'm thinking the peacock feathers shawl...

and finally, here's the paton's classic merino in its third incarnation: rogue. i'm finished with the kangaroo pocket and about 25ish rows past the hem rows. even with all the stockinette stitch, i love this pattern...

and the cable:

(shh... i did three rows on the hem before i remembered it was supposed to be twisted knit stitches... so the first three rows are regular St st...)
