Yarny Goodness
In all the Christmas and New Years rush, I forgot to show off my birthday yarn.
Two of my local knitterly friends got me yarn for my birthday. I feel loved!
Leah presented me with this on her birthday (the 22nd) as a late birthday present...LOL. She said when she saw the yarn she immediately thought of me. Gee I wonder why?
Leah sees a lovely red sweater for Lorelei.
The on the night of Anne's Christmas party on the 29th, I was presented with this enormous hat box.
So much yarny goodness--I don't know where to start!!
Yesterday, I took the kids out to the post office to mail packages--my reward was a trip to Hobby Lobby. I mainly wanted some ribbon for a cardiganette and while I wandered past the yarn section some beautiful purple yarn jumped into my hands. It'll be perfect for yet another Lorelei Hat (can you tell I am drowning my sorrow for Lorelei's shorn hair in yarn).
The purple ribbon will look so cute with a Rose of Sharon hat I will knit for Lorelei.
I decided to further torture my children and dragged them to Hancock Fabrics for a button for the Celtic Tote. I happened upon the yarn section (looking for size 9 dpns--couldn't find any) and what did the kids see. Dozens of bolts of fleece--50% off fleece.
Mic zeroed on a tiger print.
Lorelei went for the hippo pattern.
It was on sale!!! Now I am in the process of cutting and knotting fringe. It tedious, but Micci is SO excited to have a tiger print blanket.
I also started socks for my niece, I promised her special pink heart birthday socks.
