Superb!
Silky!
Scandalously superfluous!
with a little bit of happy dance thrown in.
Why the exuberance?
Well, my friends, I do believe that this Saturday has seen me make the most wondiferous single stash enhancement ever.
Since I cannot help myself, I pampered me to an early birthday prezzie and got:
3 different colourways of Fleece Artist's Woolie Silk
(I think the colours are best described as Granny Apple Green for whom I already have plans a-brewin', Amber and finally a Buttery Cream),
Enough Handmaiden silk to make a long-planned for autumn sweater (I must give the proverbial shout-out to Linda's Craftique. I buy gorgeous yarn from her booth every year, and yet have still never been the store itself),
a perfect and long-searched-for shade of chocolate brown in a dk merino from The Black Lamb,
some black baby alpaca,
and a couple hanks of black laceweight merino.
Hmmm, I feel a new personal colour preference coming on.
Stayed Tuned.
Oh yeah, and Rav got me "recognized". How cool it that?!
In the meantime, I've been diligently knitting away on a new one (this time from the Great Stash Enhancement of July 2008.As per my usual trademarking, this lace has many-a-woopsies, but I'll live with it.
I think I've cropped them out of this photo...
You'll see in (hopefully) a couple days.
