No rants, I promise!
In the words of Larry the Cable Guy, "Lord I apologize for that, heh, heh". Sorry about yesterday's soap box tirade regarding the federal Veterans' programs.
I called my neighbor and we both were relieved to postpone the garage sale until after school is out. Hooray!
I mailed my Dye-O-Rama buddy's yarn two days ago and I can't wait for her to receive it! At the slight risk of her seeing it here be
fore she does receive it, here it is...
She specifically asked for blue and brown together. This is Kona Superwash Merino from Wool2Dye4. It was very soft and nice to work with. It does seem slightly thinner than other sock yarns I've encountered though so it may require using size 0 or 1 needles only and adjusting accordingly for the correct guage. And because she is traveling with her new pal, Purl the Beaver, it is named "Purl's Delight" and it features Purl on the label. There are also lots other goodies in the package too that I hope she'll enjoy. This was a really fun exchange to participate in. Some of the yarns shown at the Dye-O-Rama site are really pretty. Well, back
to my housework. Hope everybody has a great weekend!
