Lookee, Lookee, Lookee...

At what showed up in my mailbox today!


It's sparkles, it beguiles. It's called "Darling" and is a nylon, wool, acrylic blend from the Woolie Ewe in Plano, TX.

It came from Terri for my birthday! What a sweetie! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! How did you know today was my birthday?

This yarn is definitely petting yarn. I'm not sure what it's going to be yet but for sure petting yarn. I love it!

And on a more boring note, here is the DW I tried to get up last night -

It's called "Spice Pot" and it looks nice. I've started another one in a yellow varigate but am only about half way thru it and am bored. The front of my side to side tee shirt is almost done. I'd planned to work on it this evening but fell asleep on the patio.

I didn't get much sleep last night and this morning, in celebration of making it another year, took a tumble in the kitchen. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I know I turned too fast, lost my footing, slipped on the rug and crashed into the counter. Luckily I landed on my left side first then hit my head. I thought maybe I'd broken my shoulder but just wrenched it really good. Tonight I feel okay, shoulder is a little sore. I expect it will be more so tomorrow. But I didn't really get hurt, thank goodness. I need a stunt double!

And this didn't stop me from going to Hobby Lobby to pick up some more beading supplies, because you can never have too much yarn or too many beads!

I noticed there are lots of new knitting books coming out. Brand new - a whole book of cuff to cuff sweaters, a book I saw at Margaret's called "Every Day Style", "Yarn Stash Workbook" on Amazon,and a couple of others. This is the time to be a knitter, that's for sure!
