Guess what? Finally, something new in the yarnage to show you. Behold, the first box of
Yarn Love has arrived. I ordered several weights and fiber blends, just to get a feel for it. I really love the merino/bamboo/silk "Elizabeth Bennet" yarn. I'm fondling the "Mr. Wonderful" colorway, even as I type this. (He's the blue/green/yellow, top row, center. Don'tcha wanna pinch him?)

Always, Rob
HOLY CRAP! I want to pet every single one of those skeins!!! OMG. I think pink and green is fast becoming a new favorite of mine as well. I love pink and brown....now pink and green is tickling my fancy. When the heck did I get so girlie? It's kind of scary!!!
Hopefully I'll have a little sumthin' sumthin' for you in the mail soon :) Hmm...I wonder what it could be?!?
