Monday is for....

...ME!!!

went to the post office today and lookie here:



this is what I won from Gromit. Go over there and give her some love.
thanks Gromit!!

gorgeous orange-y sock yarn.

hello??
It's from Spirit Trail

sigh--love it.

anyways,
so, I totally fell off the wagon and bought yarn.
now, in order to redeem myself, I have been looking for this stuff for a month and it is for presents.

the first:

This is going to be a hat for little man, and if it works out, for my nephew for Christmas.
it's for the Charlie's Cap Pattern from Magknits:


and the next...I saw out of the corner of my eye and had to go fondle it...

it's so gorgeous...

I think it's the Autumn Harvest colourway.
The LYS owner just got it in and doesn't even have patterns for it yet.
I told her I was going to make a felted bag and she can't wait to see it.
which means, I have to put it in on the list of stuff I want to make.
I think I'm going to try a booga bag--we'll see.

sigh..I love yarn, and it's becoming a problem...

Funny story: we went to a chili cookoff/fundraiser thing yesterday which was at a farm.
There were some sheep in the back so I said to PrincessB:

"What are those?"
Sheep
"What's on the sheep?"
Hair
"What's the hair for?"
Yarn!!!

That's my girl!
