So, the amazing Kat of Pinku agreed that if I sent her the wonderful Fleece Artist silken that she needed for her wedding shawl, then she would send me some Avril yarn. She got my package sent straight away, but I (due to issues with her yarn not arriving on the promised day at the LYS and my own issues with getting over there to pick it up and then finding a very special courier for the package) took a bit longer. So I would like to thank her for her patience and show you all the yummy yarn and yummy candy she sent to me.
Ok, here goes:
Isn't it all great? The colours are a bit off (at least on my sreen). Kat, I hope you'll be pleased to know that the purple matches my wool winter coat perfectly. Yay! Merci, merci, merci. I'm waiting until after Christmas to start knitting with this wonder-wool (hope that's not a trademark), so it all pretty much still looks like it does in the photo - except for the candy. heh heh.
Also, a little shout to my pal, Les of The Gadoury Chronicles to whom I was talking this evening while I was making the kazillionth pair of fuzzy feet and she was making her kazillionth pair of socks for her family. Bonjour Tante Chausettes!
Oh, *insert appropriate expletive here" I just saw a g.d. mouse!!!!!!!
It just entered the computer room and ran behind the computer desk. You effing effing little bugger. Apparently I need to get new mousie ear drum blasters. Argh! Every year around this time, they try to move in - and every year around this time I tell them, "Sorry, we don't take rodents" and I plug in those little ultrasonic doohickies and they all get the hint and they move out.
Now I have to go check the food in my cupboard. Sigh.
LOL LOLOLOLOLOLOL I almost peed myself when the mouse appeared... but I really had to go pee before that, but I still almost peed myself, anyway I didn'tso the computer chair has lived to see another pee-free day.
ReplyDeleteMa tante chausette sends her love!
Glad that you liked everything. I really did have fun choosing all of the yarn although I was a little nervous about the colours!! I love the silken and have finally found the perfect set of circulars to knit with. I am nearly halfway through the shawl and I think it will be very beautiful once blocked.....
ReplyDeleteThanks again for doing the swap. I loved everything in my package. Nearly all the candy and chocolates are already gone. It was terribly hard to try and resist eating those jelly belly beans.
the above commenter was me Kat BTW.....
