Let's Try This Again...



Since Blogger wasn't cooperating with the yarn photos in my previous post, here they are for your viewing pleasure!



I have had two wonderful mail days, too! On Wednesday, I received the most beautiful hank of Handmaiden Seasilk, in the color Renaissance, from Wendy--a prize for winning her Phart Yarn contest. I believe this is destined to be the Swallowtail Shawl from the latest Interweave. This yarn is just amazing and deserves a special project, so it may take some swatching and trial and error.

Yesterday, I received a surprise package from Sarah! Two ounces of Corriedale/Churro cross roving, which is softer than I would have thought, an adorable hamster card, and gorgeous handspun alpaca/silk! (You can see photos on her blog, here, since I won't be taking photos before the weekend.)

Thank you, Wendy and Sarah!

Oh, how gorgeous, it looks so soft and cozy and warm - looking forward to see what you're going to make with it!

I'm using seasilk for my swallowtail shawl too. Isn't that yarn amazing. It's really nice to work with.
