A TRUE STORY


I went to one of my favorite yarn stores Saturday in search of some Blue Sky Alpaca Silk, and to replace my broken size 2 dpns. While I was gone, the mailman came running across the street to deliver a box. My husband was in the yard and watched as the box was dropped and rolled down the driveway, much to the dismay of the mailman. In an effort to make light of the situation, my husband told the mailman "it's ok, it's probably just yarn." JUST YARN!!! Well, in his defense, he was correct. It was, in fact, yarn. Five skeins of delicious sock yarn sent to me from The Loopy Ewe. So, for those of you who were wondering who, where, when, why and how, I give you 2 skeins of Louet Gems in Fern Green, 1 skein of Cherry Tree Hill Supersock Solid in Nantucket Red, and 2 skeins of Claudia Hand Painted in Sea Dreams. I must say that the Sea Dreams is much lighter in color than I expected, but still the perfect vehicle for this sock. The other two yarns are for whatever patterns call to me from the Favorite Socks book. So, off I go to turn "just yarn" into "just socks".

I'm baaa...aaack!

Thank you for showing me your yarn! However, next time you feel the need for some new sock yarn, come shopping here first. I could kick myself for not ordering another hank of CTH DK with the gift certifcate you gave me!
