diet? what diet?
pure happiness are the only words to describe a recent package i received from anjo over at the craftymodster. she claims i was helping her get organized by taking some yarn off her hands. umm ok! i willingly accepted. check out the assortment. i am particularly fond of the fixation.
it didn't stop there, as a bonus she sent along a bunch of pink fabrics. my favorite was this cute one
and as if that wasn't enough, she even made me a stamp of my blog mascot. how thoughtful. i can't wait to use it!
it was great, because the day i got it i was kind of having a bad day. this cheered me up quickly! thanks anjo!!
now, i also did purchase some yarn this weekend despite the yarn diet. now, i get to blame this one on stacey. just look at what she bought. well, i couldn't just ignore that fact that a tuesday morning recently opened near me. so, i too stocked up on some cotton ease. although not nearly as much as stacey! i'll have to remember to take a pic and show you (mine didn't fill my boot (ie. trunk))!
now this one is encouraging me to break the yarn diet too. and she just may have gotten to me because she found a good use for my jamaica yarn (although i would have to buy more!). cathi and stacey, you guys are trouble! :)
ok, i am off to get some dinner. there will definately be knitting tonight. i am very close to finishing the pinwheel blanket. i am going to start the edging now! i think i have like 600-700 stitches on the needles!!

ooh lucky girl. and the stamp is too cute.
Wowsa! How nice. I love it when your friend help you not to buy more yarn.

What a great package you received! Free yarn is great for those yarn diets.
Wow, you have such sweet friends!! I LOVE that stamp. Can't wait to see the finished pinwheel blanket!
Have a great day Amy!
What a cute stamp! Wow, what a great stash enhancement too... I have to get my hands on some of that Fixation for the sarong I am making--it is too cute.
Have a good one, Amy!
It's nice when other people break your yarn diet for you! Great stamp too! I love it!
Ha! Sorry to lead you down the path of more yarn purchasing...but hey, at least it was inexpensive yarn:) Cute stamp!! I may have to steal that idea?! I'm getting ready to knit some socks with Cascade Fixation, I'll let you know how it goes. It's such a funky, stretchy yarn, I love it!
Such a fun package! I can't wait to see your CE stash- colors, quantity, I want details! :)
lucky you! and besides the yarn and fabric, that stamp is a wonderfully original idea :o)
Not only does she have great taste in yarn and colors but she is a talented stamp maker who buys great fabric! What a great friend! Enjoy all of your new goodies!
p.s. you never sent me you address!
