How is it...

...that (on a Fri night) I am willing to publish the fact that I love my knitting library?






Or that I find satisfaction in my sorted (not sordid) virtual library on Rav?
(not that there's anything wrong with that..)



Still - nothing replaces the charm of a pattern like this one in my mom's own hand written some 50 years ago...

Notice how many times the word "knit" appears

Always listen to your mother!

About Yarn Already!

3 posts from a blogger named "The Yarn Poet" and nadda about yarn....what up?!

As you know "spinning (a) yarn" is not always about fiber, but enough telling tales of canines, fauna, family, and flasks.  Today is about "When Hairy met Sally".



Kid Silk Haze, this is Sally.
Sally, this is Kid Silk Haze.

"Come here often?" 

In fact, I do.

I can't get enough.  I've been headoverheels, can'tfightthisfeelinganymore in love with this yarn since the day we touched.


"Whisp of a sweater"
My (a'hem) first....

Which led to:  


"Kitten"

and so on...
But what really put me over the moon was this:


"Boho Chic"


THIS is where Kid Silk Haze meets Crochet (don't tell knitting), and wow! did sparks fly.

Get a room.
