An Affair to Remember

A few loves I can't seem to let go...

1.

I know, I know, another dishcloth. These, however, serve a purpose. We're putting together a "Merry Christmas/Happy Birthday" basket for The Hubba's mother, and these are part of it. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it.

Yep. More hand-painted sock yarn. This newest gorgeous example is only a small part of an order I placed with Dani of Sunshine Yarns over a month ago. Why so long for delivery? Because she did specially selected colors for my order- seriously. The girl is Talent Personified. Those other yarns are so beautiful, and so top-secret I can't show them to you until after Christmas, but this little beauty, "Fern", made it through the Gift Detectors (re: it's mine! mine! allminehahahaha). This stuff might as well be bars of gold in certain knitting circles. Check out her fantastic shop- I'm particularly fond of the hank called "Farmhouse" (coughcoughMomSuzHubba).

Dogs in a red chair. At one point, this chair, fabric selected by myself, twelve weeks to order and deliver, was My Chair. No longer. Our darned dogs with their darned great color scheme just blend so beautifully, I don't have the heart to scold them. Instead I take pictures.

I just finished HP and the Order of the Phoenix audio book, only to check-out HP and the Goblet of Fire from the library. Knitting while listening to an HP book- priceless.
