Eeeee!

That's what I said when I saw that the yarn store had the color I wanted!  My 15yo cracked up.  She didn't know I'd been dreaming and hoping desperately that it would be there, thinking that it might not.  I also found beads to knit onto the dreaded "nursing cover"/wide scarf.  I think it's going to turn out well.  I've had a happy/content feeling ever since Friday (eeeee) night.

A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul"

Switching Tactics

I'm wrapping up my blue projects and hope to be purchasing pink yarn in the very near future!  We found out the latest baby is a girl.  Some of the blues will go to the midwife's new grandson and some will be saved for future gifts.
I have been able to bind off several projects but am still looking for the camera!

Mohair... who knew?

I just found out what fiber I am.
Mohair – A smooth, polished surface“Mohair is warmer than wool, with larger, flatter scales that contribute to an overall silky-smooth appearance. The fiber absorbs dye readily and, thanks to that smooth surface, reflects it back brilliantly.” –The Knitter’s Book of Yarn
"Mohairs are positive and confident. You always strive to make a good first impression because you are a proud person, and you care a good deal about what people think of you. You are careful with your words and are always tactful. You enjoy having a broad base of support and respect from those whom you come in contact. You attract this with your warm, sunny, and inquisitive personality."
