Knit Picks shine

hi all--I started knitting a baby blanket for my new grandaughter--didn't order enough Shine from Knitpicks--and the pattern I picked eats up yarn like crazy.

I'm looking for 14 more skeins--if anyone has a giant stash--dye lot 3736--but that's probably impossible --let me know and I'll buy or trade--thanks, Zoe

ps--I'm travelling back from vacation so won't be checking in every day.

Hi all! I'm mainly a "lurker" around here (I'm still kind of a beginning knitter although you wouldn't know it by the amount of money I manage to spend at this place! Hee hee hee!) - but when I saw this discussion I had to add my two cents.... I recently finished my second-ever pair of socks using Swish Worsted and I LOVE THAT YARN. It is the softest ever and has beautiful stitch definition; I knit them in the Clematis Heather (which is even lovelier than in the photo) and my socks turned out beautifully. I'm experimenting with some other KnitPick Yarns (or will be, when my order arrived) but I'm thinking that Swish Worsted will always be a favorite!

Caffeinated, did you have to adjust the pattern for the socks when using worsted? Did you adjust the needle size too? I don't suppose you'd share a picture of the socks with us would you?

I am starting to enjoy Essential sock yarn very much. It is very soft and cushiony. It is good to make socks for work as well as walking.

I saw the post about the new Imagination sock yarn coming out today so I kept looking and looking and there it is! But I didn't know there were going to be new Essential colors too!

You make it so difficult for me to keep my sock stash under control -- my yarn bin is overflowing. I'll have to knit faster :-)

Thank you so much for all the great new colors for Essential and the new Imagination yarn too--I'm loving them already. Can't wait to shop!

Absolutely love Felici sock yarn - I think I have every color, some enough for two pairs! The feel is wonderful, a treat for your feet. I have also knit several sweaters from Swish, and love that one, too. Thanks Knit Picks for great, but inexpensive yarn!

I love Swish too. and Shimmer. When I first purchased it I have to admit, I was a little skeptical that it would feel as lovely as it does and still be so inexpensive. I was happily surprised!

What's my favorite KP yarn? Well, that depends entirely on the day you ask me! A couple months ago I would have sworn it was Shine. Then the Comfy came out, and that was it, hands down. No question. Comfy had to be the single best yarn that ever was or ever could be. I wanted to knit an entire wardrobe in Comfy (dk weight for the unmentionables, of course). And just when I was about to finish my first Comfy sweater, I stumble across the Swish Bulky. How did I miss that? Where were the banners and parade announcing its arrival? Why didn't someone email about this epic news? I ordered, I swatched, I swooned. I brewed coffee and knit all night. I ordered more before the first sweater was finished. I considered moving closer to the KnitPicks distribution center so I wouldn't have to wait 10 days for delivery. I'm still considering that, actually.

So currently, today, Swish Bulky is my No. 1, with Comfy finishing a very, very close second.

Hi all! - My absolute favorite KP yarn is Shine. I purchased the Victorian and Renaissance samplers, knit up the fingerless mitts from the pattern that was included and I've been hooked ever since! My favorite sock yarn is Imagination, love the colorways, love the names... love EVERYTHING!

Right now, it's Felici, Felici, Felici! I like the way it stripes, but it's the character of the yarn that I like. I'd love it if it were to be available in solid colors.
