I placed an order with Ray Whiting a couple of weeks ago and today I received my yarns. I am so anxious to start on them. Planning on a couple of sweaters for the grand kids with a couple of the colors. Love the bright ones the most so I will be using them for the sweaters. Now to decide what to make for a pattern. No cables as they will not show up too much and I really want the different colors to show and not a design. I have a couple of SS roll neck patterns in sport weight that I am thinking I will use.
I did order wool again and now my DIL said she would prefer something she can wash and dry in the machine! Nice to time to let me know after I had already placed the order. Oh well, next time it will be a merino wool for them.
I really love the yarns Ray gets for his hand painted yarns..I have not had one skein yet with a knot in it so I have not had to hide any ends except from starting and stopping.
Been a while since Ive posted, just been so caught up with Facebook that I finally decided to take a break from that and the games on it.
I do have a nice purple WW sweater started for Sarah. Have the back done and the front to the sleeve bind off. I am using some of the Brunswick yarn I have left from my old yarn shop. They stopped making the yarn 15 years ago so does that tell you how old the yarn is. It was still in the plastic packaging and it is in mint condition. I have a couple of bags of their blueberry heather left too. Will make something with that soon.
Well, I am going to go start supper for hubby..he still has his job and we just keep our fingers crossed that the mill will continue to run for another couple of years and then he can retire.
KNIT ON!!!!

Wow, you really scored! Isn't it fun to open a big box of yarn? It's like Merry Christmas to me!
