That's one skein of Lorna's Lace Shepherd Sock in "Desert Flower", and 2 skeins each of Misti Alpaca Laceweight in Denim Lace and Maize.
What to do with one skein of sock yarn? No idea. It was pretty, and they only had the one skein (which is why it was 30% off). I'm sure I'll find something to do with it. And as for the alpaca, I've decided that it's time to try my hand at real lace using laceweight yarn.
Tempting II is nearing completion... I'm at the "attaching the neckband" part, which is the home stretch. After that, it's just weaving in ends and finding a buckle. Woohoo!

great colors! Now I have to go check out Little Knits - I'd never heard of it before.
I'm using Misti Alpaca lace for my Icarus shawl, and I can guarantee you're going to love it. It's SO soft and nice, and it's really easy to knit with. I just don't recommend trying to knit on wooden needles with it. I made that mistake at first and nearly drove myself mad.
I bet the single skein of sock yarn would make a gorgeous doily. :)
Followed a link from turtlegirl's blog to see this entry!
On the sock yarn, I used one skein of Lorna's Laces sock yarn held with one skein of Lorna's Laces worsted (but any worsted would do) to make a baby sweater. http://www.tvini.com/images/Babypullover/bpdone1.jpg
Food for thought!
