Oh Look...YARN!

Pretty-ful KnitPicks.com yarn...
I think yarn ALWAYS makes a knitter feel better. Am I right? Especially when it comes in the mail on your sickest, crumbiest day. My package of yarn arrived yesterday morning. I would have SQUEED if I had the energy...

My bestest girlfriend, Tricia, sent me a KnitPicks giftcard for Christmas. Best gift ever! I am such a yarn geek. This package was what I bought with my giftcard. Thank you, Tricia.

What are the yarns...?

Knit Picks Brava Worsted - 1 skein in # 25698 "Camel Heather." This color is to make a knitted hat for Hubby. He loves his grays and browns. In his defense, he is color blind.

Knit Picks Brava Worsted - 1 skein in # 25722 "Coral." This is the color I chose to knit my Rosebud Hat.

Knit Picks Brava Worsted - 1 skein in # 25711 "Fairytale." I did not have anything specific in mind when I bought this purple yarn. It's just a pretty color. I am now thinking that I will make Tricia a hat as a thank you for the giftcard and being a great friend. HUGS!

Knit Picks Gloss Fingering - 2 hanks in # 25943 "Tranquil." I want to make a pretty lace-type shawl with this yarn. I love, love, love the color of this yarn. I have not knitted with Gloss yet and I bought it mostly for the color. Have I said that I love the color? Lol.

So, that is it...for the yarn. I don't get new yarn all that often. Ha, probably less now that I am going to have to pay off my new medical bill. We will see...

I am off to eat dinner and probably sit down to knit on my Route 1 Pullover. I am slowly easing myself back into the knitting. I am gaining some energy back a little every day. By next week, I should be back to my normal self, right?

Have a great weekend, everyone.

  1. I think yarn always makes a knitter feel better is an accurate idea!

    My boyfriend has keyed in to this idea, offering to take me to the yarn store when he wants to cheer me up (or when he's said something wrong and needs to save face!).
