Madelinetosh Magnolia Society & a FO

I have made some pretty irresponsible choices regarding yarn purchases before. Remember the day of 92 skeins? This time, I don't feel as bad, but I did end up forgoing a gym membership for the sake of enrolling in the Magnolia Society, Madelinetosh's yarn club. When membership opened in April I was a bit hesitant, but, thankfully, Christie twisted my arm and I signed up too. The club lets you choose from three different color types: neutrals, naturals and jewel tones. Can you guess which one I selected?

The first shipment arrived maybe two weeks ago, along with packages from Little Knits and Jimmy Beans...but I'll get to them later. I received three skeins of 80/10/10, a worsted blend of superwash merino wool/cashmere/nylon. It feels SO good. I have just shy of 600 yards, so I'm thinking a nice squishy shawl or cropped cardigan might be in the works. The colorway is "Treetops" from the jewel tones selection.

I also finished my Camilla Pullover. No actions shots (just yet) because, as I feared, it is terribly unflattering. I thought it might turn out to be a bit too short, so I added a bit before I started the armholes. While the length is good, it gives me a "faux baby bump" because of the shell pattern. I'm hoping it fits a bit better post-blocking. When in doubt, block it out!
