Yesterday I talked about books, books everywhere well today is yarn, yarn everywhere!! Last night I went to knitting and sure enough Sara at The Cottage Yarn was having a sale! Guess who walked away with some beautiful royal blue Juniper Moon Farm yarn-that is right it would be me!!
Well as you see how could anyone resist this beautiful blue yarn called Clear Skies!! It is gorgeous! I will be making a cowl for myself with it. It is so soft and I love the fact that the owner of Juniper Moon Farm had come to The Cottage Yarn, visited with us and is a woman owned company! That makes it all right that I bought this yarn right? I am supporting a woman owned company. I know, I know I'm pathetic-LOL!!!
There is just something about colors and textures of yarn that just make me want to buy, buy, buy!! I was listening to some of the ladies last night about their yarn stashes (yes that is what they are called) and I am one of the few that doesn't have a whole room in their house designated for yarn and only yarn! They were telling me they have bags, plastic storage containers, closets, and shelves all full of various yarns in various textures and shades. So I guess that my hubby should be really happy that I don't go crazy and I usually give the things I make away as gifts (except for the last 3 purchased-I am making the cowls for myself). So my thought is I'm saving him money because I'm making theses gifts, which would cost a ton more than what I am spending on the yarn for the gift. Well atleast it sounds good-LOL!!!
Enjoy your day everyone!
That is a beautiful color of yarn. It will look great on you Sherri!

ReplyDeleteI think you and my friend could hold a yarn contest..she has tons, too! I love that shade of blue though...it will be beautiful all made up. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny that you have stashes of yarn. I have stashes of beads and my mother has stashes of fabric. I guess every crafter has a stash of some kind! That color of blue is beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteStashes! Even when some things remain in the stash for a long time, just looking at them can make you happy and appreciative of their beauty.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful shade of blue!
I am one of those crazy ladies thst has a whole section of my basement devoted to yarn and it is desperate need of organizing. I've got it in containers and tote bags. It really is scary. My books are no better. Lol. That beautiful yarn likely would have come home with me too.
ReplyDeleteI love blue, too. And I'd love to see what you make with this.
