Remember that "Something Weird"?

You know.. when you're knitting a secret project... it's really hard to keep up with a knitting blog..

Thankfully.. today the yarn arrived for Aunt Faye's gift... You know what that means?

I can blog again! Yay!!

So yes.. the yarn arrived... (After a huge to-do with the post office, I really hate them sometimes.) and the one type is SOOOOOOO soft I can't even believe it..



This is Knit Picks Suri Dream in Lilac and Sparkles in Lagoon.. (And a small hidden gift for me... darn the alure of the $30 dollar free shipping.)

Yes.. I just had to have the Yarn Harlot book.. It all started with me hearing her hotline to save the stressed holiday knitter... She is so funny. I can't wait to read that book. I think of it as a small "thank you" token for knitting this gift for Mammy to give to Aunt Faye.. (Boy that sounds weird.)

Anyway.. back to the yarn.. I love the colors that Sparkles turned out to be... it's really pretty.. I'm just a little frightened about how they'll go with that Suri yarn.. I fully intend to swatch and see what it turns out like.. but I'm hoping that even if they don't go the best the softness will win out.. (I'm telling you.. it's pet-the-bunny soft.)

Plus Aunt Faye really does like odd color combinations.

So we'll see what it turns out like.

Well I'm a doofus.. yall have no idea what I'm even gonna do with this stuff... I was searching on KnitPicks for yarns that I could use.. and this pattern came up and I thought Aunt Faye would really like it:


That's a free pattern from KnitPicks.. They call it the Ocean Capelet. I picked it because while we were looking through knitting mags together she saw something similar to that and she said she weanted to make herself one.... But now I'm making it for her >: )

I should probably get swatchin... (But I really want to read that Yarn Harlot book.)

It looks like gorgeous yarn, I especially like the colour of that lagoon yarn. Always a good idea to swatch, though.

Totally off topic here, but I couldn't find an email link...

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for saying something about the use of verification words on the You Knit What website... I just want to bang my head on the keyboard every time I see that!
