Alpaca, Mohair, Merino

By -




Bridget was selling some of her stash. 
I was interested in a box that had 2 skeins of charcoal grey in it. 
She sold the whole kit and kaboodle for 25.00
Yesterday these yarns and more arrived at My Yarn Garden.
This is the best deal I've ever made in my knit life.

There is Alpaca, Mohair, Merino and Silk in the box.

Having pretty much knit down my stash last year, this is very exciting!  

Such a surprise. 
I had another surprise yesterday; friend Linda came to visit the kittens and she discovered Fixie is a boy.....
so 3 boys, I girl.  

Another friend and neighbor Sharon, arrived with daffodils for me last night.  Hey opened up this morning and they are so cheerful.

Have you had any surprises this week?

So happy that you have yarn that you love, thanks for giving it a good home!

I haven't had any surprises of any kind this week, but that's fine - the weekend is here and I'm ready to just enjoy that.

Have a good one and kiss all the kitties for me. :-)

What great yarns for the price!! They should inspire some fun/beautiful projects!!

So Fixie is a boy, eh? I had a similar surprise several years ago. I got a beautiful long-haired white cat. Called her Dolly. She was a princess. When she was about 6 months old, I took her in to be spade. I got a call from the vet in the late afternoon, saying the cat had been NEUTERED! That was a shock. Had to change the name to Dali (as in Salvador Dali). For quite a while I had a difficult time adjusting to the fact that my princess was a prince! :-)

FIXIE IS A BOY?? Now there is my surprise for the week. He is so cute that I would swear he is a she!! LOL!

That is good looking yarn! It brings to mind a bunch of knitting projects that would love to be knit from it!

Not good ones. Oh well...next week will be a better week, right?

Fixie works good for a boy OR a girl. At least s/he gets to keep his name.

LOL! Fixie was trixie with his gender! He is precious regardless of which!

Lucky you! Sounds like you got a little treasure in that bunch of yarns!! =) blessings ~ tanna

You definitely scored on the yarn front! Our surprise was that the sun came out today and it was warm! As for Fixie, at least you found out before you took him to be spayed. Like Nancy we had that experience, and that cat was never the same afterwards.

If Fixie gets fixed, what will that make him?

Sounds like an amazing deal on that yarn box. :)

The snow Tuesday night was a surprise. Or rather, that it managed to stick and take out our power for 34 hours was shocking.

Happy surprises? Being whisked away from work yesterday afternoon for lunch with the Knight and our last run as Chief & Mrs Chief to pick up awards. I still maintain he won't truly retire, but time will tell...

... finding the Gigi print dress I wanted on sale at the beach's Lilly P shop, in my size even!

I'm going home this week! Leaving MinneSOHta! I can't wait. I hope to buy flowers soon, too. Maybe some daffodils... or Peonies? Can you plant peonies in a pot?

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
