It was the Monday of the last week of school and a beautiful day. So, I had a bounce in my step as I walked home. My favorite flowers are in full bloom, like this:
and this:
And best of all, look what came in the mail:
These luscious goodies are from Andi of
My Sister's Knitter. A while back, I was the lucky winner of one of her give-aways. And I was VERY lucky.
Let's take a closer looks at the
Great Lakes Tweed. The good news is that she has plenty more yummy skeins in her Etsy store.
Quaere Fibres also has a tempting selection on Etsy. And Andi is so thoughtful. She picked out Hanukkah Self-Striping Sock Yarn for me.
Both of these skeins are so beautiful that I'm not sure they'll turn into socks. I'll need to be patient; sooner or later they will tell me what they want to be.
Thank you so much, Andi. You made my week! And it's a week when I can use all the support I can get!
What a great pick-me-up!! Beautiful skeins. And...you're almost finished the school year - yay!!
ReplyDeleteGreat prizes Deb. I am so glad you school time is over for a bit. YOU deserve a break . Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I just finished a pair of socks in a colorway very similar to your orange one. It was like knitting with fire-such a warm and cozy project for last winter.
ReplyDeleteMy mother called that first flower a "flag". Down here they call them irises. Either way ..........beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty yarn you won!! I hope they won't have to wait TOO long to decide what they want to be. LOL
Playground Shawl! Free pattern perfect for those two skeins!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, the skeins are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIris and lilacs are my favorite spring flowers.
I am so excited that you won!!! whoot! Can't wait to see what you knit up with those glorious skeins. Having a skip in one's step is a wonderful feeling :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful yarn! Especially the Hanukkah yarn - I love it! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteNice yarn! Lucky you. That's a lovely iris, a color I've not seen.
