Today was a very happy day.  The mailman brought me a big box of beautiful yarn from eatsleepknit.com.  I really have no business buying any more yarn given the stash I already have (over 100 skeins or balls - but believe me, that's a paltry number compared to the crazy amounts some knitters hoard).  

Among the wonderful things in the box was the yarn I bought for the Aurora sweater I designed while I was sick.  I bought some Dream in Color worsted weight yarn in a lovely magenta color to make the prototype for myself, and some Malabrigo Merino Worsted in a dark blue grey to make one for Sarah as a thank you for taking such pretty pictures for my site, and in hopes that she'll model the sweater when I'm ready to start selling stuff on this site.  Check out the goodies!

In other news, I'm still plugging away on the fair isle sweater that will never end.  Actually, it probably will end tomorrow.  I can't wait to start something new so I'll be speed knitting until I can get this one off the needles.

Finally, Nancy's sweater is STILL not dry after 48 hours.  This is definitely something to keep in mind for any of you who knit and consider using Ella Rae Bamboo Silk.  Don't wet block it if you expect to wear your garment within the next week!  I'm looking forward to getting it off the blocking table and home to its rightful owner.
