Stash Expansion!
Well, okay, not really. But it is still fibery goodness that arrived in the mail…
First up, I got this a couple of weeks ago. It’s 1-lb of Romeldale/CVM roving from The White Barn Farm in Michigan. I haven’t spun with it yet, but it feels great and what I’ve looked at appears to be nice and even and CLEAN. And, it’s a yummy oatmeal color and was shipped in an oatmeal box! DH gets a big kick out that. I’m thinking fraternal hats and scarfs and perhaps fingerless mitts (if there is enough to make through man sized of all of those) DH and I that go with our barn coats. Fitting, huh? :-)
Then, last night DH brought in a box from KnitPicks! My first ever KnitPicks order has arrived. I can’t really call it much of a stash expansion though seeing as it contained mostly color cards. I did pick up a couple balls of their new solid color sock yarn, Essential (in the color Fawn) and the Kimono Styled Sweater pattern. Having not knit it yet I can’t say too much about the pattern though the directions seemed pretty clear on the read through. My only complaint would be the lack of a diagram. As someone who often has to fuss with the fit diagrams are good friends of mine and I’d rather not have to figure it out on my own… But, I will…
There were five other skeins of yarn in there that I can’t speak of. Well, except to say that most of those won’t be in my house for long and that I won’t be able to show off pictures of them and what they grow up to be until after the holidays :-( But I shall share them as it becomes safe to do so.
Who is going to see Harry Potter on Friday? DH is going to the midnight show and then we’re both going to the 10:30am matinee on Friday morning! He’ll be there twice in less than 12 hours - that’s pretty crazy!
