so pretty.


jessie at yarntini was kind enough to email me after i left a comment on her blog about the vintage colorway she makes. i was all ready to start stalking to get my hands on some when she told me she would be willing to do a swap for some of my markers! i was thrilled to say the least. and even more thrilled when it showed up on my doorstep. have you seen this knit up before? so beautiful! i can't wait to get started.

but oh then came another amazing surprise in my package! my very own colorway! look it matches my blog! (i think the use of many !!!! is appropriate here, i am THAT excited).


how sweet, how kind, how lovely! goodness, what knits first, the vintage or the good to be girl?

and one more parting shot - all wound in a cake and ready to go.


tomorrow i'll share my silk garden socks. they are amazing!

Oh, I'm so jealous. I've been trying to knit through my sock yarn. I am dying to buy some new and beautiful yarn since the dregs of my stash are quite average.
