Well, the knitting lottery anyway! My wonderful mother in law has a neighbor that was moving out and she was going through all of her stuff and apparently, this neighbor did not want her stash of yarn anymore. So my mom-in-law sent it to me. Not only is it 100% mohair.......but loads of it is PINK! I cannot believe my good fortune. Now, I haven't actually seen it yet myself. Bam opened it up while I was on the phone with him. He said there was loads of pink mohair, some bright turqoise mohair and some other stuff in white he didn't know how to describe just that it was all beautiful! wow!
In the meantime, I took my mom to the surgery this morning for cataract surgery. Windchill is -25 F and it's damn cold. I was so glad to have my scarf!!!!! I sat in the waiting room and knitted the whole 3 hours wait. Yawn. I am working on yet another scarf. Some yarn called "Denim" by Sirdar. I saw it in San Fran and just fell in love with it. Off white with bits of dark blue and tan ....will look lovely with tshirt and jeans.
I'm trying to work as little miss travel agent but it's so hard here. it just doesn't feel right. I have to go shop for some food for dinner and feed the family tonight and I'm dreading the drive in the cooooolld!
Well, I must go dream about my new yarn stash awaiting my arrival.
Maybe some cappuccino at Caribou .........yawn.
Hi, I just found your blog through Kitten Avec Whip. I'm originally from MN, and I miss my Caribou Coffee fixes and my LYS in St. Paul (The Yarnery). Where is "Zandys" yarn shop? Hope the weather warms up a little bit for you!

Hi Jen!
Well, it's darn cold! Holy cow! I haven't gotten up to St Paul but that place sounds yummy. Zandy's is down here in the southern suburbs in Burnsville. They are very friendly!
But yes, my Caribou Cappuccino at Byerly's was superb!!!!!
Dig your blog, too.
so much to learn. so little time.
