In her post titled "Hello My Name is Christine and I am a Fiber Fanatic" , Christine writes about the fiber she had blended and spun from her sheep and alpaca. It is beautiful. It haunted me.
I stalked Christine, offering to take some of that fiber off her hands if she would be willing to part with just a little bit.
She was. ( or I bugged her enough that she sold me a cone just to shut me up)
Last week my cone of yarn arrived. This is a 70/30 blend of Blanche and Sammy. (wool and alpaca)
To me, this is as pretty as a bouquet of flowers.
See how pretty it is outside with the crocuses?
For inspiration, it watches Downton Abbey with me.
It hopes to be a pretty lace stole someday......
Love,
Kim

LOL, you're a nut. I am a card carrying member, that is for sure. Yesterday, I went to a quilt show and guess what I bought? Yarn! Then, when touring the history center, I spent more time studying the woven rugs on the floor than the exibits. They probably thought I was crazy taking pictures of the floor. LOL
OMG...I am laughing so much! I totally get how a cone of yarn can watch Downton Abbey with you! That is beautiful stuff! And we'd better see the process of that lace stole!
Hugs,

Love Downton Abbey!!
This is so funny!! I have yarn in my stash I'm hesitant to use because it's too pretty. I'm betting that you can get 2 or more shawls from that cone. It looks pretty big.
Blanche and Sammy are gorgeous!
Anonymous was me! clicked too fast.
I love the brown yarn. Looks like you have enough to knit a shawl for all of us! Brown is one of m best colors. Feel free.
I love Downton Abbey, too. I plan to win their sweepstakes and visit in September. I have it marked on my calendar. Just waiting for the formality of them drawing my name.
