That is some great eye candy! LOVE the photos of the yarn in the white bowl…very striking! You should make them into note cards…just a thought.

Hey, have you used the Patons wool before? Be careful when you wash them (like you wouldn’t be but you know what I mean) I made some really nice socks for my mom at Christmas and she just tossed them into the washer and dryer without a care in the world (no, she is not a knitter) and they came out felted. Now, my 4 year old daughter has some really nice felted sleeping socks :-)

All’s well the ends well!

I’ve been coveting the Carousel colour way at the Loopy Ewe. I’m generally not a yellow/orange/green but in something that bright and fun, how could you not love it?
