The New year hasn’t got off to a great start. Weatherwise it’s been very wet and me-wise I’ve got a stomach bug. Took today off work because it was so bad. I’m hoping I’ll feel better in the morning but it hasn’t eased up yet.
Xmas knitting – I made several scarves, two pendants, a pair of socks and a pair of mittens – kept me away from blogging but here is the contents of Wendy’s parcel!
From left to right – Karabella Puffy in Blue/Purple mix, Manos del Uruguay in colour 38 – an incredible purple, two skeins of Lorna’s laces in Fresh stripe a gorgeous mix of turquoise and purple and Katia Ingenua mohair mix in Purple (sensing a theme here yet?!). Wendy certainly knows what my favourite colour is! The yarns are wonderful and I haven’t quite decided what I’m going to knit up from them. I think the Manos would make a great Bucket hat while the Lornas will become either gloves or socks or both if I can squeeze them out. For the moment I’m just happy to look at these yarny treasures!
Wendy also sent me another Denise cable and these fab Wonder Woman coasters!
I was so happy to get these because I’d been planning on buying a set.
I also got some yarny Xmas gifts!
From Becky two skeins of Crystal Palace Musique in shade 9132!
It’s a lovely squishy yarn that will make a lovely squishy scarf.
and from my friend Mel, who’s currently living in Tokyo, some Japanese yarn!
From left to right – a purple mix thick and thin wool, pale green and pale blue mohair (I think) and a multi coloured mohair mix yarn. I’m assuming that the chunky yarn is wool but the label info is all in Japanese except for a "100% " near what I imagine to be the symbol for the yarn content. The other labels are also all in Japanese. When I think of Japanese yarn I tend to think of Noro and Diakeito so it was interesting to see other brands. Thanks Mel!
Wow, that is some haul! Beautiful yarns and beautiful colors! Hope you feel better soon.
You poor thing!!! I wonder what it is that you two eat that gives you so many stomach bugs!!! Please get well soon. 🙂
Gorgeous yarn in delicious colours.
Feel better soon.
Where can i buy the baby green and lilac twin yarn in the picture? Are they available in San Francisco. I am looking for the exact name brand of mohair yarn. Can you tell me where I can get it?
