I am so so so so soooo jealous. But your yarn is gorgeous, you've bought lovely stuff, I can't wait to see it all knitted up. I have some of that alpaca in the duck egg blue to make a shawl of some kind with, it's so so soft isn't it? xx I don’t think that I can be your friend anymore if you are going to post stories like the last two.

It is a piece of art, no wonder you got so many compliments. Enjoy all the beautiful yarn. I love the color of the Blue Sky Alpacas Alpaca Silk. And the Jade Sapphire Cashmere-Silk must be gorgeous. Ellen just ordered the Jade Sapphire line into Purl Diva. They are so hard to resist. Your Forest Path Stole is so beautiful. It is a piece of art, no wonder you got so many compliments.

That Jade Sapphire Cashmere-Silk looks heavenly. That is so great that she noticed your stole! There's nothing quite so flattering as to have another skilled knitter comment positively on your finished pieces. Yarn goodness, Mm’m. That Jade Sapphire Cashmere-Silk looks heavenly.

I'm glad I was wrong. I also have faith in your steeking, I swear. But sewing machines... something I DON'T have faith in, so the rest of the story didn't surprise me at all. That yarn is gorgeous. Especially that last one. Wow. Oh yeah, and that is SO COOL about Ms. Sowerby and your shawl! Woohoo!

Mmmm...Habu... One of the dangers of living in NYC is that pet skeins of Habu tend to accumulate. Though in my case it seems to be pet cones of laceweight wool.

And that stole is stunning, I am not in the least bit surprised that you were complimented on it! The yarn you picked is beautiful, too. I'm afraid to say, though, that after all this time you have finally slipped over the edge. Better find a nice corner for that stash now, before it starts to take over. :) That's too bad about the sewing machine, but I know there are lots of little places out here that repair them, and I'm sure there are lots in California. If you don't have luck finding for "sewing machine repair," look for "vacuum cleaner repair." They go hand in hand, for some reason. Assuming, of course, that you want to repair it.
