just as i was rushing out the door to work this morning, my mailman scared the poop outta me when i turned around after having put on my shoes and BAM there he was thrusting a package into my face! but boy was i glad to see him, and that package, because it meant that my recently purchased yarns had finally arrived!


last week i bought two skeins of handspun, hand-dyed yarn from kristie haynes's etsy shop and i've been eagerly awaiting their arrival because i was planning to use one to knit up a scarflette for a family friend that my mom will be visiting next week!

so after i got home from work tonight i ate some dinner, then got down to some knitting work and did up about 3/4 of the scarflette before i called it a night. here's my progress so far.....




and here's a closer view of the yarn for a more accurate representation of the colour (it's called falling leaves and it's a wool/mohair blend) ....




she's gonna love it!

and then i bought the other skein just for me because i CANNOT resist an aqua/lime green combo. this is yet *another* "bathroom colour scheme" item. i have a serious problem, lol.




kristie also threw in an extra sample hank which is over there on the left.
i strongly recommend purchasing yarn from this gal, because it is a ~dream~ to knit with, and she always has really great, very intensely saturated colourways, which i love. you know i'm all about the colour.

and in other knitting news, i have those two other projects on the go which i mentioned yesterday. one is a hat that i'm designing from scratch, and i can't share pictures just yet, but i *will* share a picture of my other project, which is a "boy band" intended for boys with long, curly, or dreaded hair that wanna keep it outta their face sometimes. they can also be used as ear warmers i suppose. look for this to arrive in my shop sometime next week, and if you would like a customized one for a messy-maned man in your life, just let me know and we'll work it out!
