Yarn & shoes?!? All on the same day?
The amazing Andi (aka Andisocial) sent me wowza to die for yarns. AND HANDKNIT FINGERLESS GLOVES! It is so rare that I am the recipient of wearable knit gifts! I love them! They will be used constantly, fer sure.
And gorgeous handspun yarn, spun by Andi just for l’il ole me 🙂
On to the shoes! My niece Alyx (daughter of Cori aka Coribug) gifted me some S. H. O. E. S.! Mmmhmmm, they are platform, they are high, they are scrumptious browns, & they are hot! Seriously. The Idahoans really won’t know what to do with me now. No, I won’t wear them on the horse although I wouldn’t need my spurs with these heels… hmm… that’s a thought…
Once again, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Love my Ladies!

I gave this one to my lady Sherry at work. She loves it!

What can I say?
I am speechless.
This is one massive box of yarn!
Thank you so much to the ladies of Twist Yarn in Wichita, KS where my fabulous sister Cori teaches & shops.
I got called into work, the box came just as I was leaving so I am a tad rushed but I had to post!

An anonymous box arrived today & looky looky, it’s so pretty!

Undine & Kennedi’s Aestlight finished!

I just cast on this cute shawl.
Younger Yarn Shiny String yarn in Latte
Ginkgo Shoulderette – free pattern

I finished this a while back but couldn’t post it until my swap partner received it.
I hope she enjoys it.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms in my life!
I hope it’s a beautiful day for you.

And another box from Cori! Lord help me there’s a lot to list from this one, too much so a picture and summary are good; (hey! I literally just found a container of stitch markers in between yarns in the box from Maura! Surprises never end. Back to cori’s box.) There are Younger Yarn sock yarns, Alina Shea yarns, more cottons of all kinds, 10 balls of Roma Jaeger, noro Sekku and Silk Garden, a couple other balls/hanks of socks yarn, umm… and a scale! Mine is broken but here so a replacement is much appreciated.
I won’t be able to knit/crochet all this yarn!
I do plan to use most of it to make gifts for others, that’s how I roll.
In the box was another gift; a stone, a soapstone like a worry stone but I am calling this a strength stone. On one side it says “I am a woman”, the other side says “Healing Myself”. Along with it was a card with a great strength sentiment. I would share but I want to keep it for my own 🙂
Thank you my sweet Sister. I love you so much and take strength from knowing you’ve got my back.
