N is for....

...new things. (I know. I am totally welching on this one. But it was first posted within the appropriate timeframe...and it does work. I was just late realizing it was my N post!)

A prize...
3 oz of "Cedar Waxwing" Merino/Bamboo/Firestar




See the firestar up close!

From A Bag of Olives, who celebrated a number of hits. My fingers itch to spin this pretty stuff! But not just yet...not even using the Tour de Fleece as an excuse. Grandbebe Girl Two's quilt is almost done...

A gift...


It's a yarn bowl!
Look how pretty!
...from ~Wunx, who sent me some feverfew, to thank me for some iris, and enclosed this as a complete surprise! Hand-thrown, too.

A purchase for me, from me. I am planning on knitting Emma Peel, Yank Coat, and Metropole. And maybe the Kiki Meriko. I just love those Mason Dixon ladies. So down to earth, they are, but so able to tickle my funny bone. And many of their patterns strike me as my style...and doable. What a match!

Alas. After a quick look, it must go on the shelf, too. Quilt I must be finished, and II must be started. Sewing must done. Mommas-to-be are a demanding sort…

Forwards from Wisest Sister. How I love her job! She works the accounting somehow someway at JoAnns, which gives her some access to coupons and sales and stores discounts, which she wisely uses on books books books! And sometimes I get her hand me downs. These are what she recently handed off to me.

And then this is what I recently 'borrowed'. I really had to promise to return though. There are limits, and apparently EZ is one of them. (Wisest was quick to remind me, and rightly so, that she gave...gave!...me all her other EZ books.)
