On so many fronts, but particularly in the just-got-a-box-o-loooooove-from-my-Boys-at-ThreadBear kind of way.

Oh.
My.
Gawd.

The pictures linked down the page a way? Do. Not. Do. This. Yarn. ANY kind ‘o justice. Not even close. It is sooooooo unbelievably beautiful, and holy-crap soft. Get naked and roll around on it soft. So soft that doing that at the office is even tempting. I kid you not.

(Ok, I just have to share this. I am sitting here at the front desk at my office playing Cheese Hostess for the moment while our wonderful receptionist, Penny, finds some missing paperwork in the HR office. She’s got this cutesy kitten-of-the-day calendar on her desk, and today’s picture is freakin’ me completely the hell out. I *know* it’s a picture of two kittens. Deep in my heart I do, but it doesn’t *look* like a picture of two kittens, it looks like a two-headed-three-legged kitten, which is just creepy and wrong. I’ve looked at it up close, and for the life of me I can’t see the end of kitten 1 and the beginning of kitten 2. I gotta put this thing face down on the desk before I completely snap…)

Ok. So, back to the yarn. I am in LOVE with this yarn. I must swatch on the ferry tonight, and, seriously, I’m taking the next two days off work, and that yarn is going to become something in the next two days. Or at least be well on it’s way to being something.

Also in the box’o'love was a skein of Bartlett Yarns yarn in “bracken”, which is a lovely shade of green, and which will be swatched for Rogue. It’s a bit scratchy at this point, but I’ve heard it’s wonderful to work with and gets VERY soft and nice once it’s washed, so I’m game to try it. And the price can’t be beat. Rob recommended it, and said it was absolutely perfect for Rogue. So ok. If it works out well, I’m going to order enough of it to do a scaled down Rogue for my 11yo daughter, who, I think, would totally dig it.

Pix to follow, once I get home and can offload them outta the camera.
